**Deck**: Russia launched 161 drones and an S8000 Banderol munition at Ukraine overnight, according to Ukrainian reports, which say air defenses shot down or suppressed 138. Even so, at least 19 locations were struck as a vast Dnipro logistics hub was destroyed and a Kyiv high-rise burned from the first to fifth floors, with eight people injured in the capital.

Russia’s latest overnight barrage forced Ukraine to defend against 161 drones and an S8000 Banderol strike, testing air defenses across much of the country and still leaving a trail of damage.

Ukraine reports that the attack included 161 unmanned aerial vehicles and an S8000 "Banderol" launched from Russia’s Belgorod region. The drone mix, according to Ukrainian sources, featured Shaheds, jet‑powered variants, systems referred to as Gerberas, and Parodiya decoys.

Ukraine’s military says that 138 of the drones were shot down or electronically suppressed. Even with that interception rate, Ukrainian authorities report direct strikes at 19 locations, with debris from intercepted drones falling in three additional places.

One of the most serious hits was in Dnipropetrovsk (Dnipro). There, a large logistics terminal known as the "Omega" hub, spanning more than 30,000 square meters, was destroyed. Local reporting describes the site as wiped out at coordinates 48.5098, 35.099. A facility of that size is a major node in Ukraine’s internal logistics chain.

Kyiv also came under attack. In the capital’s Dniprovskyi district, a Russian drone damaged a nine‑story residential building, causing a fire from the first to the fifth floors. According to local authorities, eight people were injured in Kyiv as a result of the night’s strikes.

Nearby, in Bucha district in Kyiv region, warehouse premises caught fire during the same attack. Ukrainian reports say rescuers continued extinguishing the blaze even after a repeat strike on the area.

Taken together, these incidents show how Russia’s combination of drones, decoys, and stand‑off munitions is aimed at stretching Ukrainian air defenses while still trying to land damaging blows on logistics and civilian infrastructure.

Key questions now are whether Ukraine can keep intercepting most of such large swarms, how quickly critical sites like the Omega terminal can be replaced or rerouted around, and how much additional air defense support partners are willing to provide if attacks on this scale become more frequent.
