In February 2022, Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, creating destruction with its daily shelling of cities and villages.
Amid the ongoing war, Russia has launched roughly 2,000 drone strikes on Ukraine in October, a record-high for the year, according to Ukrainian officials.Early Friday, Ukraine's General Staff of the Armed Forces reported via Facebook that Moscow launched 2,023 drone strikes on Kyiv in October—1,185 were destroyed or suppressed by Ukraine, 738 were 'locally lost' and 29 flew back out of Ukraine-controlled airspace.The General Staff did not say what happened to the remaining 71 drones.
