Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia launched more than 100 attack drones at Ukraine overnight into October 2, according to Ukrinform.
Nearly 50 of the drones were jet-powered, Zelensky said, a type increasingly used by Russian forces that can reach higher speeds than traditional propeller-driven drones.
Ukrinform's report did not specify the targets of the attack, the extent of any damage, or whether Ukrainian air defenses intercepted the drones.
The reported overnight barrage adds to a pattern of large-scale drone attacks that Russia has carried out against Ukraine throughout the war.
