Russian forces launch 100+ drones in overnight attack against Ukraine

As of 08:00 a.m., Ukrainian air defenses shot down or neutralized 88 enemy UAVs.

UAVs made impact at 11 locations with debris from shot-down targets falling in five locations.

The Air Force warned that the Russian attack was still underway, with multiple Russian drones still in Ukrainian airspace.

Russia struck Kyiv’s Southern Bridge with drones again overnight on October 2, shutting down traffic across the critical transit artery following repeated attacks on the structure over a 24-hour window.

A Russian drone also struck a 25-story apartment building in Kyiv’s Darnytskyi district, killing one person and wounding two others.
