The Iskander-K cruise missiles used by Russia to attack Kyiv on 31 July were launched at ultra-low altitudes, making their detection and interception more challenging. Ukrainian air defence managed to destroy just three out of eight of these missiles.

Russia attacked Ukraine with 317 drones and missiles on the night of 30-31 July, most of them targeting the city of Kyiv. Air defence has downed 291 aerial assets, but hits and falling debris that led to casualties have been recorded.

On the night of Wednesday, July 30, russian troops launched 78 drones over the territory of Ukraine, air defense forces managed to neutralize 51 of them.This
