In the city of Kherson, southern Ukraine, civilians have started to hope for heavy rain – the only weather conditions that prevent Russian drones from flying overhead, they say.

Ukraine launched more than 100 drones at several Russian regions overnight, according to Russia's Defense Ministry, as four people were injured in an apparent attack on one of Moscow's major explosives factories hundreds of miles from its western border.

Russia has launched a total of 6,130 Shahed-type drones since the start of 2024, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening address on Oct. 20.
