Ukraine Downs 32 Russian Drones Amid Escalating Airfield Attacks

Kyiv's air defenses intercept all Shahed UAVs, while Russian strikes target Ukrainian air bases ahead of F-16 jet arrivals.

Ukrainian forces successfully intercepted 32 Shahed drones launched by Russia overnight.
Russia has intensified missile attacks on Ukrainian airfields, destroying several aircraft over three days.
The attacks come as Ukraine prepares to receive advanced F-16 fighter jets from Western allies.
Ukraine's air defense capabilities are stretched thin, struggling to protect both cities and military bases.
New air defense systems from Western nations are expected but may not be sufficient to cover all vulnerable sites.
