Russia launched an unprecedented aerial assault on Ukraine overnight, prompting immediate military responses from NATO countries as more than 700 drones and a barrage of ballistic missiles targeted cities across the war-torn nation. Ukrainian and Polish officials confirmed emergency mobilizations, while President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for intensified sanctions against Moscow’s oil trade and its global customers.
*The Ukrainian Air Force reported that 728 aerial weapons—including over 300 Iranian-made Shahed drones—were fired across a wide geographic range, affecting regions from Kyiv and Dnipro to Kharkiv and Lutsk. Of the total, 718 were neutralized by a combination of interceptor drones, mobile fire teams, and ground-based air defense, with 415 lost or diverted in the field.*
*“This was a coordinated, massive assault on civilian and military infrastructure,” Ukrainian defense officials said. “But our systems held.”*
Polish military command confirmed that its airspace was activated for joint operations, including rapid deployment of allied fighter jets. “All forces under the operational commander’s control were placed on high alert,” Warsaw stated in a formal notice, adding that Polish and NATO aircraft were launched to monitor the threat. By morning, Polish forces had returned to standard readiness following the perceived reduction in risk.
The attacks triggered a sharp rebuke from Zelenskyy, who said the strike pattern coincided with international ceasefire efforts. “While diplomacy is at work, Russia escalates,” he wrote on X. “This is a test of resolve—not just for Ukraine, but for every nation backing peace.”
Zelenskyy reiterated calls for secondary sanctions targeting countries and corporations purchasing Russian crude. “The world must stop financing this war machine. We are past the point of condemnation—this demands consequence,” he added.
The strike inflicted significant damage on infrastructure in at least 10 regions, according to Ukrainian officials, though casualty details were still being assessed. It marked one of the most sophisticated and expansive drone offensives since Russia’s full-scale invasion began, and signaled what observers say could be a turning point in both tactics and geopolitical urgency.
“The use of hundreds of autonomous drones and advanced missiles in a single night is a chilling preview of future conflict,” one Ukrainian defense analyst said. “And it shows Russia is not scaling back—only evolving.”
NATO has yet to release an official statement on the overnight operations, but alliance members are expected to convene emergency consultations within days.
