lucy hockings spoke to our ukraine correspondent earlier, james waterhouse in kyiv, and he explainedwas really where we heard the the booms of the city's air defences echo around the streets, really. and we've seen footage online showing shahid drones flying overhead. they're these iranian made drones, which russia has been using of late. they are cheaper than ballistic missiles. and it's a means which russia has switched to, as its own stockpiles have dwindled. they have a distinctive whining engine and it was a fairly relentless attack. 75 drones were launched towards kyiv and the surrounding region, from the north and the east, mostly. and the majority of them were shot down, according to authorities. and i think that's a reflection of ukraine's improved air defenses. but look, it had been a quiet few weeks where they were growing fears that russia had been stockpiling its drones and missiles. and there have also been worries that russia would resume its strategy of targeting ukrainian infrastructure as winter continues to bite. and i think those fears have very much been realised
