 Kyiv, Ukraine (AFP) Feb 25, 2025

Ukraine said Tuesday that Moscow had launched over 200 drones and seven missiles overnight, coinciding with the third anniversary of Russia's invasion.

The Russian defence ministry confirmed the attacks, adding that they targeted military air fields and claimed all of them "were hit."

The Ukrainian air force said Russia had deployed 213 drones of various types and fired seven cruise missiles but air defence systems downed six of the missiles and 133 drones.

Seventy-nine drones were intercepted by electronic defensive systems or were lost by Ukrainian military radars.

The Ukrainian air force said the central regions of Kyiv and Zhytomyr had been impacted without elaborating.

A woman was hospitalised after shrapnel damaged a residential building in Zhytomyr, the regional governor Vitaliy Bunechko said on social media.

Another woman was wounded in the Kyiv region, the head of the regional military administration Mykola Kalashnyk said in a post online.

Russian forces have been launching large-scale drone and missile attacks on Ukraine since the Kremlin decided to invade Ukraine in February 2022.
