**Deck**: Ukraine’s air defenses report destroying or suppressing 109 Russian targets in one night, including anti‑ship and ballistic missiles and more than 100 attack drones, after a large‑scale strike.

Ukraine reports that its air defenses have intercepted or disrupted a large overnight Russian strike involving missiles and drones across the country.

According to Ukrainian figures, Russian forces launched one anti‑ship missile described as Zircon/Oniks, two ballistic missiles identified as Iskander‑M/S‑400, and 152 strike drones, including 82 noted as rocket‑powered. Ukraine’s air defense units say they shot down or suppressed the single Zircon/Oniks missile, both ballistic missiles, and 106 of the 152 drones.

These numbers have not been independently verified but would represent a substantial engagement, with Ukrainian forces claiming to have neutralized the majority of incoming targets.

Ukrainian authorities acknowledge that some weapons got through. Regional officials in Odesa reported that infrastructure in and around the Black Sea port came under attack during the night and morning, causing a fire that emergency services later extinguished.

The strike underlines Russia’s continued use of mixed salvos of missiles and drones to test and wear down Ukraine’s air defenses. For Ukrainian crews, such nights mean sustained operations to track, engage and destroy incoming threats before they reach cities and critical facilities.

Key indicators in the aftermath will be detailed damage assessments from affected regions, any further information from Ukraine’s military on the types of systems used in the defense, and signs of new commitments from partners to replenish interceptor stocks if such large‑scale attacks persist.
