Ukraine's Air Defenses Downed Or Suppressed 120 Targets Overnight

Ukraine's Air Defenses Downed Or Suppressed 120 Targets Overnight

Kyiv's General Staff says the tally covers roughly fourteen hours, from 18:00 on July 16 to dawn on July 17.

  • The 120-target count blends physically destroyed weapons with ones jammed by electronic warfare.
  • Russia fired at least one Kh-31P anti-radar missile as part of the barrage.
  • The General Staff published this tally today, part of its daily wartime count.

Why it matters: Ukraine's General Staff is simultaneously a party to the war and its only source for this figure.
