Ukrainska Pravda reports that Russia attacked Ukraine overnight with 65 drones and two Iskander-M ballistic missiles, with Ukrainian air defence destroying or jamming 58 aerial assets. Ukrinform reports that air defense forces shot down 56 drones and two 'Banderole' loitering munitions.
Why it matters
The attack underscores Russia's continued use of drones and missiles against Ukraine, and the reports highlight the ongoing role of Ukrainian air defense in countering such strikes.
What's unclear
- The exact number of drones and missiles that were not intercepted and their impact.
- The discrepancy between the number of drones reported by each source (65 vs. 56 plus two loitering munitions).
- Whether the two Iskander missiles were intercepted or caused damage.
