Russian forces have attacked Ukraine with 160 unmanned aerial vehicles, according to Ukrainian air defence data. The assault, part of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, has not yet ended.

Ukraine's air defence says it has destroyed 117 of the 160 drones so far. Among them were 82 jet-powered Shahed-type drones. This means that more than half of all the drones used in the attack were of the jet-powered type.

Despite the air defence effort, hits were recorded at 14 locations. The source does not specify which places were affected, what damage was caused or whether there were casualties.

The attack is continuing, so the figures may change as more complete data becomes available.
