Russia increased the intensity of its long-range drone attacks on Ukrainian cities by around 44% in the week following President-elect Donald Trump's election victory, ABC News analysis shows. The size and complexity of drone attacks by both Russia and Ukraine have been steadily increasing since the full-scale war began in February 2022.

On the night of November 15, Russia fired 2 missiles and 29 Shaheds at Ukraine. Most of the targets were shot down in the Odesa region, according to the Ukrainian Air Force. Last night, Russia attacked the Odesa region with 2 Kh-59/69 guided missiles from the Black Sea.

Since September 1, the Ukrainian capital Kyiv has been spared from Russian drone attacks on just one night – October 14.

Russia launched a massive combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine, the third in three days, but Ukrainian air defenses shot most of the airborne ordnance out of the sky with only one person reported hurt.

Russia overnight launched a “record” 145 drones at Ukrainian territory, according to Ukraine’s air force, 62 of which were shot down. A further 67 were “lost,” the air force said, a likely reference to electronic jamming that caused the drones to veer off course.

Russia launched a combined missile and drone attack on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, overnight, with residents sheltering in metro stations and air raid sirens blaring for hours. Serhii Popko, head of the Kyiv City military administration, said Ukrainian forces destroyed several cruise and ballistic missiles and up to a dozen drones.

Russia attacked the Ukrainian capital Kyiv with a sophisticated combination of missiles and drones for the first time in 73 days on Wednesday, authorities said, as the Pentagon said most of the North Korean troops sent to help Moscow’s war effort are fighting to drive Ukraine’s army off Russian soil in the Kursk border region.
