Russia and Ukraine have both launched record drone attacks on each other overnight, with Ukrainian attacks on Moscow temporarily shutting down three of the Russian capital’s airports.
Russia fired 145 drones at Ukraine overnight, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday – more than in any single nighttime attack so far during their two-and-a-half-year conflict.
“Last night, Russia launched a record 145 Shaheds and other strike drones against Ukraine,” Zelenskyy said on social media, urging Kyiv’s Western allies to do more to help Ukraine’s defence. Kyiv said its air defences downed 62 of the drones.
Russia also said it had downed 34 Ukrainian attack drones targeting Moscow on Sunday, the largest attempted attack on the capital since the start of the offensive in 2022, with Moscow regional Governor Andrei Vorobyov calling the attack “massive”.
