Ukraine's air force says it has repelled one of the largest aerial barrages launched by Russia on its territory in months. The air force said on Wednesday that it shot down all the incoming projectiles – 89 drones and one missile – launched by Russia overnight, the attack mainly targeting the central region of Kyiv. Kyiv's military administration said more than 40 of the drones were downed over the capital, Kyiv, and its outskirts. There was some damage to buildings as a result of falling debris, but no casualties were reported.
