Air force spokesman Yuriy Ignat called the 267 drones spotted in Ukrainian skies between Saturday and Sunday "a record for a single attack" since the invasion began nearly three years ago. Among them, 138 were intercepted by air defence while 119 were "lost" without causing damage, he said in a post on Facebook.
