Snippet:
Ukraine faced one of its largest recent drone attacks on 29 May, with Russian forces launching 232 drones overnight against targets across the country. According to Ukraine's Air Defence, 217 drones were intercepted, but several strikes still caused damage in the southern cities of Odesa and Zaporizhzhia. In Odesa, regional governor Oleh Kiper said air defences destroyed most incoming drones, yet attacks left around 4,000 people without electricity.
