Between January and June, the number of Russian drone and missile attacks exceeded 23,000, a roughly 605% increase compared to the same period last year.

Russia pounded Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles on Saturday (July 12), in the fourth major attack this month, targeting western cities and killing at least two people in Chernivtsi on the border with Romania.

Russia targeted Ukraine with more than 1,800 drones, 1,200 guided aerial bombs and 83 missiles of various types, President Zelenskyy said.
