Ukrainian forces successfully intercepted at least two cruise missiles and 111 drones, but struggled against ballistic missiles due to a critical shortage of air defence munitions. President Volodymyr Zelensky urged allies to expedite the delivery of agreed air defence packages and for projects, including a US President Donald Trump-mentioned licence for Ukraine to produce Patriot interceptors, to advance swiftly.
