Russia threw 93 attack drones at Ukraine overnight, Shaheds and Gerberas and Parodiya decoys, 46 of them jet-powered, plus Banderol and Dan-T missiles. From Oryol, Rostov, occupied Donetsk, Crimea, the Sea of Azov. As of 8 a.m., Ukraine’s Air Force: 72 targets downed or jammed — 69 drones, three missiles. Hits at 13 locations. Debris at three. The War desk files a smaller night than Thursday’s 157.
Thursday left 19 hurt, children among them, in Kyiv and Odesa. Friday’s tally is the count, not the names, at the New York close. Congress passed Lindsey Graham’s Russia sanctions bill on the louder night. Zelenskyy called that symbolic. Trump’s energy truce is still a post.
Hits were recorded at 13 locations.
