Ukraine launches more than 100 drones over Russia

Russian air defences have shot down more than 100 Ukrainian drones over Russia’s western regions, Moscow officials say, as 17 people were injured in a ballistic missile ******* on the Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih.

The Russian Defence Ministry said 110 drones were destroyed in the overnight barrage against seven Russian regions on Sunday.

Many targeted Russia’s border region of Kursk, where 43 drones were reportedly shot down.

Social media footage appeared to show air defences at work over the city of Dzerzhinsk in the Nizhny Novgorod region, close to a factory producing explosives.

Local Governor Gleb Nikitin wrote on social media on Sunday that four firefighters had been injured repelling a drone ******* over Dzerzhinsk’s industrial zone, but did not give further details.

Such large-scale aerial attacks are still relatively rare in Russia more than two years after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Russia’s Ministry of Defence reported the destruction of 125 drones across seven regions in a similar ******* at the end of September.

Meanwhile, 17 people were injured in Ukraine’s Kryvyi Rih after the city was hit by two Russian ballistic missiles, officials said on Sunday.

The ******* late on Saturday evening damaged homes and businesses, local administration head Oleksandr Vilkul said.

The Ukrainian air force said Russia launched 49 drones and two Iskander-M ballistic missiles in total overnight.

It said 31 of the drones were shot down over 12 regions, including the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, while another 13 disappeared from radar – suggesting they were knocked out by electronic defences.

In a statement on social media, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russia had launched some 800 guided aerial ****** and more than 500 ******* drones over Ukraine in the past week alone.

“Every day, Russia strikes our cities and communities,” he said.

“It is deliberate ******* from the ****** against our people.

“******* in defence, the world can stand against this targeted *******,” he said, renewing calls for continued air support from the country’s allies.
