Written by EGazette’s AI. The facts are drawn from cited sources; the analysis is the AI’s own.
Russian forces increased the number of drones launched against Ukraine in September compared with previous months, Ukraine's Air Force said, according to Ukrinform.
The Air Force's assessment points to a continued reliance by Russia on drone strikes as part of its ongoing military campaign against Ukraine, though the report did not provide a specific figure for the increase.
Ukrainian air defense units have regularly reported intercepting significant numbers of drones during Russian attacks throughout the conflict, and the reported rise in September adds to a pattern of sustained aerial assaults documented by Ukrainian officials.
The Air Force statement did not detail which regions were most affected by the increased drone activity or specify the types of drones involved in the September attacks.
Ukrainian officials have consistently called on international partners for continued air-defense support in response to Russia's use of drones and missiles against Ukrainian territory.
