Ukraine's air defense forces neutralized 127 of 162 Russian drones launched against the country during the day on September 25, according to Ukrinform.
Despite the interceptions, hits were recorded at 27 locations, indicating that dozens of the drones that were not shot down or otherwise neutralized struck their targets or fell across various sites.
The scale of the attack, with over 160 drones launched in a single day, reflects the continued intensity of Russian aerial strikes against Ukraine as the war continues. Ukrainian officials have regularly detailed daily interception rates as part of their reporting on the country's air defense efforts.
The report did not specify the exact locations affected by the 27 recorded hits or provide details on casualties or damage resulting from the strikes that got through.
Ukraine's air defense network, which combines mobile fire groups, electronic warfare and surface-to-air systems, continues to face large-scale drone attacks on a near-daily basis.
