Air defense was in operation in Vinnytsia, Rivne, Khmelnytsky, Kyiv, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Sumy, Kherson and Poltava regions.

On the night of September 7, an air raid alert was declared in a number of regions of Ukraine. Explosions were heard in Vinnytsia, Kyiv, Khmelnytsky regions and in Kyiv. As a result of the attack, a fire broke out in an open area in the Pecherskyi district of the capital.
