Ukrainian air defenses downed 32 of 35 Shahed exploding drones launched by Russia early Tuesday, most of them in the Kyiv region, in an attack that exposed gaps in the country’s air protection.

Russian forces mostly targeted the region around the Ukrainian capital in a night-time attack lasting around three hours, but Ukrainian air defences in the area shot down about two dozen of them. The attack was part of a wider bombardment of Ukrainian regions that extended as far as the Lviv region to the west, near Poland.
