Russia attacks Ukraine with 107 drones, most jet-propelled types
Russia launched 107 drones at Ukraine overnight, most of them jet-propelled models. Ukrainian air defense shot down 87 of the drones, though strikes and falling debris were recorded at multiple locations.
Russia carried out a large-scale drone attack on Ukraine overnight, launching 107 unmanned aerial vehicles, the majority of which were jet-propelled types, according to Ukrainian news outlet Pravda.
Ukraine's air defense forces reported shooting down 87 enemy drones during the night, including Shahed-type attack drones, Gerbera-type drones, and decoy drones used to confuse and overwhelm air defense systems.
Despite the successful interceptions, strikes were registered in several locations. Reports indicate that direct hits or falling debris from intercepted drones affected roughly ten to fifteen locations across various Ukrainian regions.
Detailed information on the extent of damage or possible casualties at the affected sites has not yet been released. Ukrainian authorities are continuing to assess the consequences of the attack.
Combined drone attacks of this kind — mixing genuine strike drones with decoys — have become a routine tactic for Russia, aimed at overwhelming Ukraine's air defense systems and increasing the likelihood that some drones reach their intended targets.
