Ukrainian Air Defense Achievements
Ukrainian air defense successfully repelled one of the largest drone attacks from Russia, neutralizing all 89 drones and one missile aimed primarily at the capital, Kyiv. This marks a significant achievement, as authorities reported that over 40 drones were shot down specifically over the city and its outskirts. The Ukrainian Air Force described this attack as one of the most extensive the country has experienced, noting the high number of intercepted drones matched a previous record set on New Year's Eve. Fortunately, there were no reported casualties, though some damages to buildings occurred during the more than seven-hour air raid alert.
