Russia has launched its biggest air attack on Ukraine since the war first began in 2022, with Vladimir Putin’s forces launching over 500 drones across several cities.

The Ukrainian Air Force confirmed that one F-16 pilot was killed in the onslaught on Saturday (28 June).

Ukraine has said 475 out of 537 aerial targets were shot down.
