Ukraine downs 112 Russian drones and three missiles in overnight attack

Ukraine's air defense forces successfully downed 112 Russian drones and three guided missiles during a large-scale overnight attack by Russia. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russia deployed a barrage of 125 attack drones from various launch points, including Russian territory, occupied Donetsk, and Crimea, as well as air-to-surface and guided missiles.

The aerial assault included an Kh-31 air-to-surface missile launched from the Black Sea and three Kh-59/69 guided missiles from the airspace over occupied Zaporizhzhia. Despite the intensity of the attack, Ukrainian air defenses managed to neutralize a significant portion of the incoming threats across the northern, southern, and eastern parts of the country.

The Kh-31 missile reportedly failed to reach its target. However, the Ukrainian report noted that four attack drones successfully impacted three locations, and debris from downed unmanned aerial vehicles fell in eight different areas. The Ukrainian military continues to defend against ongoing Russian aggression.
