Russia launched an extensive drone attack on Ukraine just hours before US and Russian officials convened in Saudi Arabia for talks aimed at ending Moscow’s war on its neighbor. Ukraine’s air force reported that Russia launched 176 Shahed-type strike drones and decoy drones overnight, as part of the ongoing aerial assaults targeting Ukrainian defenses and energy infrastructure.
According to Ukraine’s air force, more than 100 drones were successfully intercepted and shot down, with nearly 70 decoy drones evading radar detection without causing any harm. The extent of damage or casualties resulting from the attack was not specified in the report.
