Ukraine says Russia launched 479 drones in the war's biggest overnight drone bombardment
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia launched 479 drones at Ukraine in the war's biggest overnight drone bombardment, the Ukrainian air force said Monday. Apart from drones, 20 missiles of various types were fired at different parts of Ukraine, the air force said. The attacks usually start late in the evening and end in the morning, because drones are harder to spot in the dark. Russia has relentlessly battered civilian areas of Ukraine with Shahed drones during the more than 3-year war. The barrages have killed more that 12,000 Ukrainian civilians, according to the United Nations.
