NATO scrambles warplanes as Russia launched the largest attack in history on Ukraine - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
"Overnight Ukraine was hit with the largest attack in the history of the war firing more than 500 air, sea and land missiles, cruise missiles and drones forcing NATO to scramble warplanes. The bombardment pounded around a dozen regions and the capital; Kyiv was slammed more than a dozen times which destroyed civilian infrastructure and hit railways. The US President Donald Trump said he is "very disappointed" with Vladimir Putin as he is in Beijing at the largest military parade ever seen."
"The Ukrainian Defence Forces said they destroyed 451 targets out of 526 on Wednesday evening and three missiles and 69 drones strikes hit 14 locations and aerial objects downed saw fragments fall at 14 locations. The Ukrainian Air Force said in a statement, "According to preliminary data, as of 09:00, air defense systems shot down/suppressed 451 air targets: 430 enemy Shahed UAVs and simulator drones of various types, 14 Kalibr cruise missiles and seven Kh-101 cruise missiles.""
Russia launched the largest attack of the war, firing more than 500 air, sea and land missiles, cruise missiles and drones. The bombardment struck about a dozen regions including Kyiv, destroying civilian infrastructure and damaging railways. NATO scrambled fighters as Russian strikes targeted western Ukraine, and Poland activated air-defence procedures with allied aircraft and radar systems at maximum readiness. Ukrainian forces reported destroying 451 out of 526 aerial targets, including 430 Shahed and simulator drones, 14 Kalibr cruise missiles and seven Kh-101 cruise missiles. The strikes prompted warnings about direct threats to eastern-flank locations.
