Ukraine's Zelenskyy warns of incoming Russian drone attacks during daylight

Zelenskyy said Russia has shifted to daytime attacks, with more than 100 drones in Ukrainian airspace and 111 of 139 intercepted overnight, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned of new waves of Russian drone attacks as Moscow has increasingly shifted tactics to strike during daylight hours.
  • Over the last four years, Russia has mainly conducted major drone and missile strikes at night; in recent weeks, however, it has repeatedly sent hundreds of weapons during daytime hours.
  • Ukraine reported that Russia attacked with 139 drones since 6 p.m. on Tuesday, of which 111 were downed or neutralised; daytime strikes are more disruptive to civilian life.
  • Zelenskiy condemned the strikes in a post on X, stating "Russia continues its strikes and is doing so brazenly" while accusing Moscow of deliberately targeting railway infrastructure and civilian sites.
  • Moscow denies intentionally targeting civilians, claiming strikes on infrastructure are legitimate if they degrade Ukraine's warfighting capabilities, though the war has killed thousands of civilians over more than four years.
