Ukraine officials said on December 3 that Russia sent 11 Iranian-made drones and a cruise missile from Crimea in an attempt to strike multiple targets in Ukraine. Ukrainian air defenses managed to intercept and destroy 10 of the drones and one missile, but one drone broke through the defenses and bombed an infrastructure facility in the Odessa region, causing a fire, but fortunately there were no people**.

The Ukrainian Air Force Command revealed in a statement that the drone used by Russia is the Shahed 136 131 type, an unmanned attack aircraft that can carry 50 kilograms of explosives and have a range of up to 2,000 kilometers. The drones took off from the Khota Peninsula in southwestern Crimea. Russia also launched a Kh-59 cruise missile from a plane that flew over Zaporizhzhia Oblast. The target of the missiles is the Dnipropetrovsk region, which borders the Zaporozhye region and is an important strategic region of Ukraine with facilities such as nuclear power plants and rocket factories.

Ukraine's air defense system detected and shot down missiles and 10 drones in a timely manner, effectively deterring Russia's aggression. However, a drone managed to evade anti-aircraft fire and attacked an infrastructure facility in the Odessa region, which is located on the Black Sea coast and is an important port and industrial center of Ukraine.

The head of the Odessa Regional Military Administration, Ole Kipper, announced on Telegram that a fire caused by a drone attack was quickly extinguished and no one **. However, he did not disclose the specifics of the infrastructure that was attacked. The fire appears to have been brought under control and no serious damage has been caused.
