Russian Night Raid Leaves 14 Dead; Ukraine Downs 31 Missiles, 636 Drones

(CNA Comprehensive Foreign Report from Kyiv, 16th) The Ukrainian Air Force stated today that Russia has once again launched an attack on its borders. In the past 24 hours, 31 Russian missiles and 636 drones were shot down or rendered ineffective. Authorities noted that at least 14 people were killed in the massive overnight bombardment.

According to a Reuters report, the Air Force stated on Telegram: "During this period, the enemy launched two waves of combined attacks on Ukraine, using ground and air-launched missiles and attack drones."

The Air Force pointed out that a total of 703 Russian aerial targets were detected.

According to an AFP report, since the outbreak of this war, which has been ongoing for four years, Moscow has deployed hundreds of drones to attack Ukraine almost every night, while Kyiv responds with frequent strikes inside Russian territory.

This wave of attacks occurred after the end of the Orthodox Easter ceasefire. Both sides accused each other of massively violating the 32-hour ceasefire that had just concluded. (Translator: Ho Hung-ju) 1150416
