Ukrainian forces intercepted hundreds of drones, but officials warned the scale and frequency of attacks signal a shift in Russian tactics aimed at prolonged pressure on civilian infrastructure.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said the assault shows Russia has no intention of ending the war. He also warned that global tensions, including conflict involving Iran, may be emboldening Moscow.
Fighting has also intensified on the ground in eastern Ukraine, where Russian forces are pushing toward key defensive positions.
