Russia initiated a significant aerial assault on Ukraine, unleashing 93 missiles and nearly 200 drones, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. This attack is described as one of the most intense bombardments on the country's energy sector since Russia's full-scale invasion almost three years ago.
Ukrainian defenses successfully intercepted 81 missiles, including 11 cruise missiles that were taken down by F-16 warplanes provided by Western allies earlier this year, as reported by Zelenskyy.
