New drone attacks on Ukraine are likely since the enemy received a new batch of weapons from Iran.

Nataliia Humeniuk, the head of the joint press center at Ukraine's Operational Command South, said this on national television, according to Ukrinform.

"[New attacks] are quite likely since they received additional support from Iran and additional batches have already been delivered to the launch sites. They are quite likely to launch missile attacks, as well as purely Shahed attacks and mixed 'missile-Shahed' attacks," she said.
