**Deck**: Ukrainian sources say air defences shot down or suppressed 125 of 135 Russian aerial targets overnight. Even with that claimed rate, they reported direct hits at five locations and debris from intercepted weapons falling on another five.

Ukrainian forces reported a heavy night of Russian aerial attacks into 4 October, claiming to have shot down or suppressed 125 out of 135 incoming targets.

Despite that figure, Ukrainian reports said there were confirmed impacts at five locations. Debris from downed weapons or their fragments fell on another five sites, causing additional damage.

The Ukrainian side did not specify in this update what types of targets were involved. Recent Russian strikes have used a mix of missiles and drones against infrastructure and cities, and the volume reported here points to a large, multi-directional attack.

For people on the ground, the numbers translated into explosions, damage from both strikes and falling debris, and another night in shelters for those living under regular air-raid alerts. Even when most incoming weapons are intercepted, fragments can still threaten homes, vehicles, and local power lines.

This exchange unfolded as Russian forces also hit individual cities, including Sumy and Dnipro, according to regional officials. Together, these reports point to a sustained Russian effort to probe Ukrainian air defences and to keep pressure on multiple regions at once.

Key signals to watch now include whether Russia maintains this tempo of large-scale launches, whether Ukraine reports similar interception ratios over several nights, and whether authorities disclose more detail about the specific types of targets involved and the resulting damage on the ground.
