Ukraine's Air Force announced it intercepted 18 of 41 missiles launched by Russia overnight, according to journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) citing the military.

Ukraine's Air Force reported Sunday morning that it intercepted 18 of 41 missiles launched by Russia overnight, according to journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) citing Ukrainian military sources. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha described the attack as the largest ballistic missile strike by Russia since the invasion began, underscoring the severity of the barrage.
The Ukrainian account follows Moscow's earlier claim Sunday that it carried out one of the largest strikes on the capital, Kyiv, hitting 20 targets, as The Zioneer reported at 09:16. The parallel reports suggest a coordinated Russian assault across multiple regions, though the precise targets and scale remain unverified.
Independent confirmation of the figures is pending. The Ukrainian military's reported interception rate of 18 out of 41 missiles (44%) is consistent with past performance, though the overall number of missiles launched is lower than some previous attacks. The FM's characterization of the attack as the largest ballistic missile barrage highlights the evolving nature of Russian tactics, focusing on ballistic missiles that are harder to intercept.
