Russia launched record 5,337 drones at Ukraine in June alone

Russia launched a record 5,337 drones against Ukraine in June, intensifying aerial strikes. Only two days in the past 18 months were attack-free.

Russia launched a record 5,337 drones against Ukraine across the month of June, according to the data from Ukraine’s Air Force, or about a quarter more than Moscow’s previous barrage of 4,198 UAVs in March.

Moscow has significantly intensified its aerial strikes at Ukraine since May, with the drone and missile attacks and bombardments becoming more frequent and more intense.

Over the past year and a half, there were only two days when Russia did not attack Ukraine with missiles and drones, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha said at the press conference with his German counterpart Johannes Wadephul in Kyiv on Monday.

According to the total number of drones launched at Ukraine in June only, Russia is now capable of launching in a single night as many drones as it did over an entire month in early summer 2024.
