Ukraine's air defense systems were actively engaged between 4:36 AM and 5:06 AM UTC on September 28th, intercepting numerous drones targeting the Kyiv region and its vicinity. Reports from channels like "‼️ТРИВОГА ~ РАДАР🚀ДЕ РАКЕТА? ДЕ ШАХ..." and "monitoring" detailed specific drone activity, including "Shahed" drones over Teremki, Shulyavka, Zhuliany, and Svyatoshyn/Nivki, as well as multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) observed in the skies around the capital and in the north of the Kyiv region. During this active 30-minute window, "monitoring" reported a significant presence of UAVs, stating "7 UAP on Kyiv," "2 UAV on Vasylkiv," "5 Uaks on Pereyaslav," "3 UAV on Irpin/Buch," "1 UAV for Bila Tserkva," and "6 UAV in the north of Kyiv region in the western course." The channel "‼️ТРИВОГА ~ РАДАР🚀ДЕ РАКЕТА? ДЕ ШАХ..." also indicated up to "40 shock UAVs in the airspace" and noted that "The guns are still under attack!" The "Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the ..." reported UAVs in the center of Poltava and Cherkasy regions heading west and towards the Kyiv region, respectively, and in the north of Kirovohrad region heading south. The "Николаевский Ванёк" channel provided further details on drone movements, stating "between Vasilkov and Kyiv 12 mopeds" and "Above Kyiv and around for now about 15 mopeds," noting that "Anti -monopic work does not end and continues." This ongoing drone activity follows a continuous barrage of aerial attacks reported in previous windows. For instance, a previous report from 4:06 AM to 4:35 AM UTC detailed widespread drone and missile assaults across Ukraine, including the Kyiv region, with multiple sources reporting a high volume of UAVs targeting the capital and its vicinity. While the current reporting window primarily focuses on drone activity, previous reports have indicated a broader context of Russian aerial assaults. The earlier window also mentioned ballistic attacks in Ava, damaging a critical infrastructure site and a high-rise building, and explosions heard in multiple other regions. Footage shared on X, such as from "WarRoomArchives," shows military engagements, including a T-90M being hit by an M2A2 "Bradley" in Stepove and Russian ZU-23 anti-aircraft vehicles in use, as well as a Russian BMPT Terminator in action, underscoring the ongoing conflict.
