In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing conflict, Russia launched what Ukrainian officials have described as the most extensive aerial assault to date. The overnight attack involved a staggering 537 airborne weapons, including 477 drones and decoys alongside 60 missiles, targeting various parts of Ukraine.
Ukraine’s air force reported that 249 aerial threats were successfully intercepted, while another 226 were neutralized through electronic jamming systems. Despite these defensive measures, several areas were struck, with widespread damage reported.
Tragically, a Ukrainian F-16 fighter pilot lost his life in a crash while actively defending the country against this onslaught. The incident has cast a shadow over Ukraine’s new fleet of Western-supplied jets, raising concerns about operational risks under high-pressure combat conditions.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded by urging the international community, particularly former U.S. President Donald Trump, to step up their support as the war reaches a new and dangerous phase.
Meanwhile, Poland scrambled fighter jets in response to Russian projectiles nearing its airspace, signaling growing regional alarm and the risk of broader escalation beyond Ukrainian borders.
The intensity of this assault has once again revived global fears of a potential wider war in Europe, as NATO allies monitor the situation closely.
