Ukrainian official: Russia launches largest airstrike since the outbreak of the conflict

Jin10 reported on June 29 that, according to the Associated Press, Ukrainian officials said on Sunday that Russia launched the largest airstrike against Ukraine since the conflict began during the night. This escalating bombing campaign further shattered hopes for peace to end the three-year-long conflict. The Ukrainian Air Force stated that the Russian military fired a total of 537 airstrike weapons at Ukraine, including 477 drones (including decoy drones) and 60 missiles. Among them, 249 were shot down by the Ukrainian military, and another 226 failed and crashed due to electronic interference. Ukrainian Air Force spokesperson Yuriy Ihnat stated that considering the number of drones and various missiles, this night raid is the "largest airstrike operation". The attack targeted multiple regions across Ukraine, including areas far from the front lines. The Polish Air Force stated on Sunday that Poland and its allies had urgently deployed fighter jets to ensure the safety of Polish airspace.
