In a statement, the air force said Russia fired 728 Shahed and decoy drones, as well as 13 missiles, overnight. <\/p>\n<p>President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a social media post most of the Russian drones were taken down by Ukrainian interceptor drones, but some of the weapons did get through air defenses. Ukrainian prosecutors were quoted by the French news agency AFP as saying five civilians were killed by drones that slammed into private vehicles in the far eastern town of Rodynske, while three more people were killed about 10 minutes later in Kostiantynivka, around which Russian forces have been closing in.<\/p>\n<p>Officials said two people were also wounded in the Kyiv region during the attack. Zelenskyy said the main target of the Russian attacks, however, was the northwestern city of Lutsk, which sits near the Ukrainian border with Poland and Belarus and is home to airfields used by the Ukrainian army.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
