Ukraine's Air Force has reported that Russia carried out another combined missile and drone strike on Ukrainian territory overnight into Wednesday.

According to the Air Force, the attack involved one "Iskander M" ballistic missile and an H-31P anti-radar missile, which is designed to destroy air defense systems. Russia also launched several H-35 guided aviation missiles.

Large-scale drone assault

Alongside the missiles, Russia used 115 attack drones and decoy drones, which are typically intended to overwhelm Ukraine's air defense systems and mislead operators into wasting resources on neutralizing fake targets.
