Kiev: Russia has carried out the biggest drone attack on Ukraine so far. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, Russia fired 479 drones and 20 missiles in one night, causing widespread devastation in the central and western regions of the country. This attack is being seen as the biggest night bombing of the war so far.

Russia's Biggest attack on Ukraine

According to Ukrainian officials, Russia attacked with 479 drones and 20 missiles, out of which Ukrainian air defense systems destroyed 277 drones and 19 missiles. However, only 10 drones and missiles managed to reach their targets, due to which one person is reported to be injured. Russia claims that it had targeted only military targets, while Ukraine says that civilian areas have also been damaged.

Buildings Caught Fire

During the attack, buildings in Kiev and other cities caught fire, creating an atmosphere of fear among civilians. Ukrainian emergency services worked overnight to extinguish the fire and evacuate people from the rubble. Local authorities have described the attack as a war crime and demanded an immediate response from the international community.

International Response

According to the United Nations, more than 12,000 Ukrainian civilians have lost their lives so far in Russian attacks. However, Russia says it had only targeted military targets. After this attack, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has appealed to the international community for more assistance.

This attack is a new twist in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, indicating serious consequences for both countries. Experts believe that such attacks can further increase the intensity of the war and affect regional security.

Ukrainian Air Defense Systems

Ukrainian air defense systems, such as the S-300 and NASAMS, destroyed most of the attacks, but some missiles and drones managed to reach their targets. Analysts say Russia's growing military capabilities and Ukraine's limited defense resources could further complicate the conflict.

Fierce Attacks On Ukraine

Yesterday on 8 June, in response to the attack on Russia's airbase and fighter jets by Ukraine on 1 June, Russia had carried out fierce attacks on Ukraine for the third consecutive day. In the last three days, Russia has targeted major cities of Ukraine using more than 500 drones and more than 80 missiles.
