Russian forces launched a large-scale overnight strike on Ukrainian industrial infrastructure using long-range precision weapons and drones, Russia Today reported.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the attack, claiming that Russia deployed 477 explosives-laden drones and 60 missiles.

He called on Western allies to increase air defence support. Zelensky also revealed that a Western-supplied F-16 fighter jet was lost while intercepting the strike, resulting in the pilot’s death.
