Russia launched a record 479 drones at Ukraine in an overnight aerial barrage, Kyiv's air force reported on Monday. This was the latest large-scale attack as Moscow rejected calls for a ceasefire.

The attack caused damage in several regions of Ukraine, but there were no reports of deaths or mass casualties.

"Enemy air strikes were recorded in 10 spots," the Ukrainian air force reported.

Oleksandr Tretyak, the mayor of the western city of Rivne, called it "the largest attack" on the region since the start of the war.

Russia has escalated its attacks across Ukraine in recent weeks. Kyiv stated that this showed Moscow had no intention of halting its three-year-long invasion and was not serious about peace talks.

The recent barrages raised concerns about the capacity of Ukraine's stretched air defence systems.

But the air force reported that it shot down or intercepted 460 of the drones. It also reported that it shot down 19 out of 20 missiles fired by Russia overnight.

Ukraine also reported that it had launched its own overnight strike on an electronics factory that produced parts for Russian drones. Local Russian officials stated that the facility had to temporarily suspend production after the attack.

The scale of the attack and the continued barrages demonstrated that the conflict remained intense, with no sign of easing despite international appeals for de-escalation.
