Russia launched doxens of drones against cities and towns in southern and eastern Ukraine overnight killing three people and injuring at least 23, Ukrainian authorities said.

A Russian strike on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia killed at least 13 people, Ukrainian officials said, one of the deadliest single air attacks for weeks in the three-year war.

Russia launched 64 Shahed-type attack drones and various dummy drones against Ukraine overnight, the Air Force reported. Air defenses shot down 41 drones over nine different oblasts, while 22 dummy drones were lost in the airspace,

The systems, valued at approximately $350 million, include two Pantsir-S1 missile and cannon systems, one OSA-AKM air defense system, and two S-300 surface-to-air missile systems.

Russia has intensified its offensive against Ukraine by launching a series of missile and drone attacks targeting critical energy infrastructure across the country. These strikes have led to widespread power outages,
