KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia fired more than 700 attack and decoy drones at Ukraine overnight, topping previous nightly barrages for the third time in two weeks, part of Moscow’s intensifying aerial and ground assault in the three-year war, Ukrainian officials said Wednesday.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Wednesday that Russia's largest drone attack overnight on Ukraine showed the need for 'biting' sanctions on Russia and secondary punitive measures against Russian oil.
