Ukraine received half-a-dozen F-16s at the start of August, the first tranche of a total of 45 that Kyiv's allies have promised.

Ukraine on Sunday said it sent more than 100 drones deep inside Russia to hit a major weapons depot, as it stepped up attacks further inside Russian territory.

Ukraine’s military said Monday it shot down 67 of 73 Russian aerial drones launched in overnight attacks targeting areas across Ukraine. In addition to the drones, Ukraine’s air defenses also shot down one of three Russia missiles.
