As reported, on the night of July 6, Russia launched a massive combined strike on Ukraine, using a record 419 air attack weapons (68 missiles and 351 UAVs). Kyiv became the main direction of the strike. Ukraine destroyed/suppressed 363 targets (326 drones and 37 cruise missiles), but ballistic missiles could not be shot down due to an acute shortage of corresponding interceptor missiles.
As of 08:30, hits of 29 ballistic (including anti-ship) missiles and 18 strike UAVs were recorded at 34 locations, as well as the fall of shot down (debris) UAVs at 16 locations.
As of mid-May, across Ukraine as a whole, the interception rate of ballistic missiles was 29%, including more than 40% in Kyiv.
