Ukrainian air defenses successfully intercepted and destroyed 63 Russian-launched drones during an overnight strike, according to the country’s Air Force. The drones, which were part of Russia’s ongoing aerial assaults, were targeted and neutralized by advanced air defense systems deployed by Ukraine.
The strike marks another significant achievement in Ukraine's efforts to protect its skies and critical infrastructure amid the ongoing conflict. The Ukrainian Air Force has been relying heavily on modern defense technologies to thwart drone attacks, which have become a regular tactic in the war.
These successful interceptions demonstrate Ukraine's continued resilience and ability to defend against increasingly sophisticated aerial threats. The attack follows a series of similar strikes in recent weeks, further highlighting the ongoing aerial battle between the two nations.
