KYIV: Russia fired fewer drones and missiles at Ukraine in June compared to a month before, an AFP analysis of Ukrainian air force data showed Wednesday, as Kyiv stepped up its own retaliatory attacks on Russia. Moscow launched 5,749 drones and 180 missiles against Ukraine in June — down 29 percent and 15 percent respectively compared to May — following several months of record aerial strikes on its neighbor.

Ukraine came under attack by 108 Russian drones overnight. Air defence forces intercepted 82 of them, but several strikes were recorded and the attack is still ongoing.
