Russia launches over 100 drones at Ukraine, air defense targets multiple regions

Ukrainian intelligence reports that Russia has ramped up its drone production, potentially enabling it to launch up to 500 drones in a single strike, with a wide variety of types now in use, complicating Ukraine's air defense efforts. On March 2 and 3, Russia launched coordinated attacks with dozens of drones targeting various regions, including major strikes that resulted in significant damage to civilian infrastructure, such as residential buildings and hospitals. Ukrainian air defense successfully intercepted a majority of these drones, with reports confirming the destruction of 63 drones during one attack. Despite these defenses, the relentless drone assaults continue to pose a serious threat, especially against strategic targets like the Ukrainian energy system. The Ukrainian Air Force has been actively engaged in countering these attacks across multiple regions, illustrating the ongoing intensity of the conflict. The situation remains critical as Russia persists in its aerial assaults amidst the ongoing war.
