537 aerial weapons were launched at Ukraine overnight (Picture: AFP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Russia<\/a> launched its biggest aerial attack on Ukraine<\/a><\/strong> overnight, part of an escalating bombing campaign that has dashed hopes for a ceasefire.<\/p>\n

One of the F-16 warplanes Ukraine received from its western partners to help fight Russia’s invasion crashed after sustaining damage while shooting down air targets, killing the pilot.<\/p>\n

Russia fired a total of 537 aerial weapons at Ukraine, including 477 drones and decoys and 60 missiles, Ukraine’s air force said.<\/p>\n

Of these, 249 were shot down and 226 were lost, having likely been electronically jammed.<\/p>\n

Yuriy Ihnat, head of communications for Ukraine’s air force, said the onslaught was ‘the most massive air strike<\/a>’ on the country, taking into account both drones and various types of missiles.<\/p>\n

The attack targeted regions across Ukraine, including western Ukraine, far from the frontline, and prompted NATO countries, including Poland, to scramble aircraft. <\/p>\n

Kherson regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin said one person died in a drone strike, and another was killed when a drone hit a car in the Kharkiv region, according to its governor, Oleh Syniehubov.<\/p>\n

Six people were wounded in Cherkasy, including a child, according to regional governor Ihor Taburets.<\/p>\n

In the Lviv region in the far west of Ukraine, a fire broke out at an industrial facility in the city of Drohobych after a drone attack, which also forced parts of the city to lose power.<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin said days ago that Moscow was ready for a fresh round of direct peace talks in Istanbul, but the war shows no signs of abating.<\/p>\n

US-led international peace efforts have so far produced no breakthrough.<\/p>\n

Two recent rounds of talks between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul were brief and yielded no progress on reaching a settlement.<\/p>\n

Last night, German fighter jets were scrambled to intercept a Russian spy plane spotted over the Baltic Sea – the ninth time Germany has done so this year. <\/p>\n

Days ago, it was revealed that Putin lost four warplanes worth \u00a337 million each despite stepping up their defences after Ukraine\u2019s Operation Spiderweb.<\/a><\/p>\n

A pair of Su-34 fighters were destroyed and two more damaged after an attack on on Marinovka military airfield in Volgograd.<\/p>\n

Ukraine used long-range drones to fly more than 200 miles to inflict the latest \u00a3148 million blow to Putin\u2019s aerial firepower.<\/p>\n

It came less than a month after Russia<\/a> supposedly tightened its military air base security after 40-plus strategic bombers and spy planes were hit in Ukraine\u2019s Operation Spiderweb.<\/p>\n
