May 26 (UPI) -- Russian and Ukrainian forces exchanged deadly cross-border drone and missile attacks during the overnight hours Sunday into Monday morning despite international diplomatic efforts to end hostilities.
Ukrainian air defenses intercepted drone and missile targets throughout the nation after Russia launched nine cruise missiles and 355 attack drones at targets within Ukraine, ABC News reported.
Ukrainian forces shot down or neutralized all of the missiles and 288 drones, but five regions reported impacts from the attack drones, and 10 regions reported falling debris.
The Russian aerial assault "used the largest number of drones against our cities and communities since the beginning of the full-scale war," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a Telegram post.
