What did our air defence manage to destroy?
As noted, two Kh-59/69 guided missiles and 6 "Shahed" strike UAVs were shot down as a result of the air battle.

According to the Air Force, air defences were operating in Kyiv, Cherkasy, Sumy and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
Late in the evening of 8 September, Russian troops reportedly launched attack drones from the north.
