Kyiv, June 29: In a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict, Russia executed its largest aerial assault on Ukraine overnight, according to Ukrainian officials. This attack is deemed a critical part of a broader bombing campaign that has diminished hopes for a resolution to the ongoing war, which has persisted for three years. Ukraine’s air force reported that Russia launched a total of 537 aerial weapons, comprising 477 drones and decoys, alongside 60 missiles. Of these, 249 were intercepted and shot down, while another 226 were reportedly lost, likely due to electronic jamming techniques. This assault is described as the most extensive airstrike on Ukraine since the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, covering both drone and missile attacks. The situation underscores the increasing intensity of hostilities in the region and raises concerns about the humanitarian impact and ongoing diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict.
