Russia launched its largest drone attack of the war, firing 479 drones and 20 missiles across Ukraine overnight, as part of its summer offensive. Ukraine says most were intercepted, but concerns grow over dwindling Western support.
Russia launched a record 479 drones at Ukraine overnight, marking the largest drone assault since the war began three years ago, Ukraine’s air force reported Monday. The massive barrage, part of Russia’s ongoing summer offensive, came amid the backdrop of direct peace talks.
In addition to the drones, 20 missiles of various types were launched, primarily targeting central and western regions of Ukraine. According to Ukraine’s air force, air defenses intercepted 277 drones and 19 missiles, with only 10 projectiles reportedly reaching their targets. One person was reported injured.
This spike in aerial attacks comes as Russian forces intensify ground offensives in the eastern and northeastern sectors along the 1,000-kilometre (620-mile) front. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the situation in some areas as “very difficult,” without elaborating.
Facing manpower shortages and equipment strain, Ukraine continues to appeal for increased military aid—particularly air defense systems—from Western allies. However, growing uncertainty surrounding U.S. support has raised concerns about the sustainability of that assistance.
