On July 9, 2025, Russia launched its largest-ever aerial assault on Ukraine—728 drones including Shahed-style decoys, and 13 missiles—marking the most intense drone barrage of the war to date . The attack targeted Lutsk and several other regions, triggering NATO jets to scramble into Polish airspace . Ukraine’s air defenses intercepted most threats using interceptor drones and mobile units, though infrastructure damage and civilian casualties were reported . The assault followed comments by former U.S. President Donald Trump condemning Putin, which preceded Ukraine’s sustained appeal for stronger Western military aid and sanctions. (PC: Newsweek)
