Ukrainian officials say Russia has fired more than 700 attack and decoy drones at Ukraine overnight. That tops previous nightly barrages for the third time in two weeks.
At least one person has been killed after Russia launched its largest drone attack on Ukraine since the beginning of its invasion, Ukrainian officials said Wednesday, just hours after US President Donald Trump pledged more military support for Kyiv and accused his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin of throwing “bullsh*t” over peace talks.
Ukraine’s air force said that Russia had launched 728 exploding drones and decoys, a barrage that set a single-night record and underscored Ukraine’s need for weapons. Trump, who just last week paused arms shipments to Ukraine, said on Monday that the U.S. would resume them because the country was “getting hit very hard.”
Ukraine's military said it eliminated hundreds of Russian drones overnight after Moscow launched a massive aerial attack targeting the northwestern city of Lutsk.
The latest assault included more drones in a single night than Russia used in the entire month of July last year.
Russia launched its largest drone and missile bombardment of Ukraine overnight into Wednesday, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Russia launched an intense aerial assault on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv in the early hours of Thursday, marking a second consecutive night of ferocious attacks on the country, as Russia ramps up its bombardment more than three years into the war.
