Ukrainian drones "overloaded" Russian air defenses, with a Neptune missile hitting the site shortly after, an SBU source told the Kyiv Independent.

Ukraine says its air defences shot down 60 out of 93 Russian drones as Moscow escalates its aerial attacks. One person has been killed and four others were injured when Russian drones targeted the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, military and civilian officials said, as Russia launched barrages across the country.

Snow, sleet, fog, the lot; when the weather is at its worst is when Russian soldiers tend to go out on assault. After a day and night of steady snowfall, the sky begins to clear just before dawn, during the silent drive to Ukrainian drone positions south of Kupiansk in Kharkiv Oblast.

Massed Russian aerial attacks using long-range drones have been a near-daily occurrence over Ukraine in the past several months, as Moscow looks to exhaust Kyiv's air defences alm

A Russian missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia claimed at least 13 civilian lives and injured around 30 others.

Russian defence officials claimed Ukrainian troops were urged to surrender after precise strikes on their positions. Paratrooper units targeted Ukrainian command posts, and drones with loudspeakers called for surrenders.
