Russia fired a record 728 Shahed and decoy drones at Ukraine overnight, as well as 13 missiles, the Ukrainian air force said Wednesday, in the latest escalation after mounting Russian aerial and ground attacks in the more than three-year war.

Russia launched its largest drone and missile bombardment of Ukraine overnight into Wednesday, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Ukraine managed to intercept and jam most of the 741 aerial targets launched by Russia overnight in its largest attack, but six aeroballistic Kinzhal missiles made it past Ukraine’s air defences amid the shortage of US supplied Patriot missile systems and relevant interceptor missiles.
