Ukraine's air defense forces said they neutralized 134 drones launched by Russian forces in attacks since the evening of September 25, according to a report from the Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform.
The figure reflects the latest tally provided by Ukraine's air defense units, which have regularly published counts of intercepted or destroyed drones as part of the country's ongoing response to sustained Russian aerial attacks throughout the conflict.
The report did not specify, in the excerpt available, the geographic distribution of the intercepted drones, the extent of any damage caused by drones that were not neutralized, or details of civilian or infrastructure impact from the overnight attacks.
Russia has repeatedly employed drone strikes as part of a broader campaign targeting Ukrainian territory since its full-scale invasion, with Ukrainian officials frequently publicizing interception figures to demonstrate the effectiveness of the country's air defense systems.
Independent verification of exact drone counts in such reports is generally difficult, as the figures are typically based on assessments made by the same military authorities conducting the defense operations.
The overnight figures add to the continuing pattern of nightly drone and missile exchanges that have characterized the war, with both sides regularly reporting on the scale of attacks and defensive successes as the conflict continues.
