Ukraine Neutralizes 52 of 71 Russian Drones in Multi-Region Attack

Russian forces launched a large-scale drone attack on Ukraine, deploying 71 drones overnight, with 52 neutralized by Ukrainian air defenses through a combination of firepower and electronic warfare. The attacks targeted multiple regions including Kharkiv, Odesa, and Sumy, with significant damage reported in Kharkiv's Kyivskyi district where civilian facilities were hit and one person injured. Additional strikes damaged residential buildings in Kupiansk and Zaporizhzhia, injuring several civilians. The ongoing hostilities coincide with stalled ceasefire efforts and heightened global distraction due to the Israel-Iran conflict, with Russia reportedly escalating attacks to exploit this. Ukraine has also intensified drone strikes on Russian territory, including a recent attack on a residential building in Moscow that injured two people and caused evacuations. Both sides continue to suffer casualties amid the intensified drone warfare along their shared border.
