Ukraine Defends Against Intensified Russian Drone and Missile Attacks

Ukraine successfully repelled a large-scale drone assault by Russia, involving 78 drones, with none reaching their intended targets. The attack, originating from Russian regions, was part of ongoing efforts to disrupt Ukrainian civilian life and infrastructure. Ukrainian air defense, including missile troops and electronic warfare systems, destroyed or neutralized all drones across six oblasts. In Kyiv, debris from intercepted drones caused minor damage but no injuries. Separately, a fire in Kyiv's Obolonskyi district was reported but was unrelated to the drone activity.
