Russia attacks Ukraine with 142 drones, including 82 jet-powered

Russian forces launched 142 drones at Ukraine overnight into October 8, including 82 jet-powered Shaheds, fired from five launch axes in Russia and occupied Ukrainian territory, the Air Force Command reported. Ukrainian air defense intercepted or jammed 126 of them, but direct impacts were confirmed at seven locations and falling debris caused damage at four more.

The attack followed an October 7 barrage that killed two people in Kyiv's Obolonskyi District and two more in Desnianskyi District, with additional casualties including two children. A separate strike on Rivne Oblast damaged a commercial building and sparked a large fire, with no casualties reported there.
