Russia launched 277 attack drones of various types against Ukraine over the previous 24 hours, including 155 jet-powered drones, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said, according to Ukrinform.
Zelensky's statement highlights the continued scale of Russian drone strikes on Ukraine, which have become a near-nightly feature of the war alongside missile attacks targeting cities, infrastructure and military positions across the country.
Jet-powered drones, which travel faster than the propeller-driven models Russia has used extensively since 2022, have featured more prominently in recent Russian strike packages, complicating Ukrainian air defence efforts that rely on a mix of fighter jets, surface-to-air missile systems and mobile anti-drone units.
Ukrinform's report did not specify the number of drones intercepted or the extent of any resulting damage or casualties from the latest barrage.
Ukraine has repeatedly called on its Western partners for additional air defence systems and interceptor capacity to counter the rising volume of Russian drone and missile strikes.
