Russia launched almost 500 drones at Ukraine overnight Sunday in its biggest bombardment since the start of the war — a day after US officials warned that such an attack from Moscow was likely.
A total of 479 Shahed drones and 20 missiles were launched at Ukraine by Russian forces overnight, the Ukrainian air force said in a statement on Monday.
All but 19 of the drones and one of the missiles were successfully downed by Ukrainian units, the air force’s statement continued.
