"Today, Ukraine's air defense stood up and repelled a massive attack with hostile drones", the air force writes, and notes that the attack was the largest in at least several months.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyj comments on the Telegram service that important conclusions can be drawn from this. "Ukrainians can fully protect their airspace from Russian attacks if we have sufficient reserves".
However, he sees a difference in preparedness for drones, which are smaller but come in large quantities, compared to more powerful weapons. "We need the same level of defense against Russian missiles and fighter jets".
Falling debris can also cause some damage, and in the latest attack, several buildings are reported to have been hit in different parts of the country.
The drones are said to have been the Iranian variant Shahed, and were primarily targeted at the capital area.
