Russia launched one of its most intense combined missile and drone attacks on Ukraine in recent weeks, with Kyiv and the surrounding region coming under heavy fire. According to Ukrainian officials, Russia fired 24 Iskander-M/S-400 ballistic missiles, four Zircon and Onyx missiles, and 115 attack drones in a coordinated overnight assault. Ukraine says it was unable to intercept any of the ballistic missiles, highlighting a growing shortage of advanced air-defense interceptors such as the Patriot system.
