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.

Russia fired a record 728 Shahed and decoy drones at Ukraine overnight, as well as 13 cruise and ballistic missiles, the Ukrainian air force said, in the latest escalation after weeks of mounting Russian aerial and ground attacks in the more than three-year war.
