Russia targets Ukraine with 'massive' aerial attack, including hundreds of drones, Zelenskyy says
Ukraine’s air defenses shot down 536 drones across 31 locations as officials said Russia aimed at energy infrastructure and other critical sites.
- Russia launched more than 850 Shahed-type drones at Ukraine between October 14 and 15 in continuous waves, causing at least 10 deaths and 66 injuries nationwide, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported on Thursday.
- Overnight on October 13-14, SpaceX imposed a 160 km/h speed cap on Starshield terminals without warning, undermining Ukraine's interceptor drone operations when they were needed most against the barrage.
- Russian jet-powered Geran-4 and Geran-5 drones reach speeds up to 600 km/h, creating a speed differential that renders Ukraine's interceptor drones unable to neutralize threats effectively under the new restriction.
- President Zelenskyy accused Russia of deliberate escalation following sanctions relief and urged international partners to strengthen air defenses by removing the speed constraint amid ongoing emergency operations.
- Conflicting reports about an energy ceasefire persist, with Ukrainian officials confirming they have resumed strikes on Russian energy infrastructure as intensive aerial campaigns continue against critical logistics targets.
