Ukrainian air forces shot down 122 of 137 drones launched by Russia during overnight attacks that injured 14 people, Ukrainian officials announced Tuesday. The drone assault represents one of the latest in Russia's ongoing campaign of aerial attacks against Ukrainian territory using unmanned aircraft. Russia has increasingly relied on drone swarms to target Ukrainian infrastructure and civilian areas since launching its full-scale invasion in February 2022. The Ukrainian military's air defense systems have become more effective at intercepting these attacks, though some drones continue to reach their targets and cause casualties.
