KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian officials say Russian forces have launched 45 drones over Ukraine in a five-and-a-half-hour barrage. In a statement, the Ukrainian air force said it had shot down 40 of the Iranian-made Shahed drones over nine different regions, including on the outskirts of the country’s capital, Kyiv. The strike comes as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy continues his reshuffle of Ukraine’s war cabinet after naming Col. Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi as the country’s new military chief Thursday. He appointed Lt. Gen. Alexander Pavlyuk as the new commander of Ukraine’s ground forces, with Kyiv trying to maintain momentum against attacking Russian forces as the war enters its third year.
