UKRAINE, JUN 10 – Ukraine's air defenses intercepted 460 out of 479 drones during Russia's largest drone assault, causing civilian casualties and damage amid stalled peace talks and escalating conflict.
- On the night of June 9, 2025, Russian forces carried out the largest drone attack of the conflict against Ukraine, deploying 479 drones and launching 20 different missiles, primarily striking the central and western parts of the country.

- President Volodymyr Zelensky urged civilians to heed air raid warnings and emphasized urgent requests for Western air defense support, highlighting that the situation remains very difficult in some areas.
