Moscow barreled hundreds of drones toward four key regions in Ukraine overnight, just as lawmakers in Kyiv scrambled to approve additional defense spending against the backdrop of intensified Russian attacks over the past few days.

The interceptor drone collided directly with the central part of the Shahed, causing its destruction in mid-air. These vehicles are designed to reach high speeds quickly and are equipped with fragmentation warheads, increasing effectiveness against airborne targets, even without direct impact, thanks to the blast radius.
