Ukraine Claims Over 70 Missiles and 280 Drones Used in Night Attack

According to official statements, the Russian offensive employed more than seventy missiles, many of them long‑range ballistic weapons, along with upwards of 280 unmanned aerial vehicles. While Ukrainian air defences managed to destroy a significant share of the drones, a shortage of supplied air‑defence missiles forced pilots to rely on skill and improvisation to protect civilian zones. The president highlighted the heroic performance of Ukrainian soldiers and thanked partner nations for the assistance that continues to save lives despite logistical gaps.
