RUSSIA’S air defences intercepted 347 Ukrainian drones overnight in what appears to be one of Kiev’s largest aerial offensives of the war, as hopes for a negotiated pause in fighting dissolved amid mutual accusations of bad faith.

Moscow said that drones were destroyed over 20 regions, including the capital, marking Ukraine’s second-biggest such attack since Russia invaded more than four years ago.

The largest previous assault came last March, when 389 drones were deployed in a single night.
