the ukrainian air force says russia has launched a record number of drones overnight, damaging buildingsstructure in several regions. the attacks took place across ukraine, with officials describing them as �*massive' in scale. 188 drones were involved, many of which are believed to be iranian—designed shahed unmanned aerial vehicles. 76 were shot down and another 95 were either lost from radar tracking, or brought down by electronicjamming systems. that would suggest that at least 17 got through. the air force says russia also fired four iskander m ballistic missiles but did not say if they were intercepted. here's our diplomatic correspondent, paul adams, in kyiv. yeah, certainly we were aware of a very significant amount of activity late last night. it went on here in kyiv for a good couple of hours, and you could hear explosions on a pretty regular basis towards the edge of the city. so there was a lot of activity. we think that quite a significant number of drones arrived in this general area. but that figure of 188 is the largest for a single night, anywhere at any time over the be

the ukrainian air force says dnipro was also targeted by a hypersonic ballistic missile, and seven cruisee shot down. military sources have told the bbc the missile had been fired from astrakhan, close to the caspian sea. the attack follows the us decision to allow the use of long—range missiles to attack russian territory and moscow has repeatedly said the use of western weapons to strike territory far from the border would be a major escalation of the conflict. russia has also claimed it's shot down two british—made storm shadow missiles. 0ur diplomatic correspondent caroline hawley has the latest. actually, we are going to take you to this from the ukrainian president, speaking a short while ago. translation: today there was a new russian missile. j all the characteristics, including speed, altitude, correspond to an intercontinental ballistic missile. expert examinations are under way. it is obvious that putin is using ukraine as a testing ground. i'm joined now by our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford who is monitoring events for us from warsaw. who is monitoring events fo

nick, what do we know at this hour the information, but the central claim in all of this from ukrainian air forcercontinental ballistic missile was used by the russians to hit what you saw in that video there, which appears according to much local reporting to have been the yuzhmash industrial plant in the city of dnipro essentially part of the industrial infrastructure. >> there you can hear the gravity of the explosion, and locals report hearing in a city where they are bombarded regularly, an abnormal sound. and in the video too i think it's fair to say it looks different to many of the incoming strikes we've observed on cctv. there seem to be multiple separate projectiles landing from possibly a similar point of origin at this stage, we don't know what device was indeed used, and ukrainian officials are working, it seems, at the site to establish more details about that. a western official speaking at the sidelines of a summit in southeast asia, has said that they do not believe this was an intercontinental ballistic missile, but instead a ballistic missile. that may be a case of semantics, a

information at this stage but the reason we're talking about this is the ukrainian air force has said that a intercontinenta l ballistic missile was fired at ukraine from russia at about 5:00 this morning. they say that it was accompanied by about 6 or 7 other missiles. one of them, a hypersonic kinzhal, presumably designed to confuse or busy air defenses. and we are hearing reports that the dnipro, one of the largest cities in ukraine, was hit. it appears that industrial infrastructure there may have been the target. social media reporting of a different type of explosion. a significantly abnormal noise being heard by locals there. why does this matter? well, if indeed it does turn out that this was an icbm or perhaps a intermediate ballistic missile with new capabilities, it would mark russia trying to escalate back after the united states permitted ukraine to use us made and supplied atacms missiles to hit targets inside of russia. this new type of missile, clearly from the damage that we've seen, suggested on social media, able to get through ukraine's significant air defenses and

this morning, the ukrainian air defence force said it had shot down an intercontinental ballistic missileubezh. in terms of damage, authorities on the ground saying that it is kind of minimal, several houses damaged, there's a fire, two people injured in dnipro, however, they are saying that an industrial facility was damaged in the strike and they are being very vague about what sort of facility, how badly damaged it was, so it is possible that it was targeted by this missile strike. but as things stand things, things are less than clear, there is a lot of uncertainty about what is going on. the kremlin refused to confirm or deny that moscow used an intercontinental ballistic missile this morning. but it's reasonable to expect some clarity to emerge, something in terms of evidence collected by the ukrainians. i'm sure they would be keen to show to the world that this is what russia has done and that this is a clear escalation. and just talk us through the process, not necessarily linked to this specific incident, but how do you get confirmation out of the kremlin and russia? what is the

been, what has key been saying about this attack of the why he mentioned that fail, the ukrainian military, the air force have said that they do believe this was the intercontinental ballistic missiles part of a 9 miss. all 9 project, all volley that was directed towards business and infrastructure targets in and around them. so southern city of ne pro, uh, that's what they have coming out and saying presidents and, and he has also come out with a, a, an earlier than usual address to the nation saying that roger is the crazy neighbor and it's using ukraine as a training ground he said that there all the parameters, the intercontinental ballistic missile was used and it's still under investigation . so that's the official news that we're having out of ukraine today. of course, even is confirmed that will signify a very steep a escalation and is conflict. it will be the 1st time is you mention that a ballistic missile of this nature would have been used in this conflict. and it certainly mean taking very seriously here in ukraine and also by your friends, neighbors, hungry and poland, activating their defe

ukrainians beat them on the battlefield. and i think a couple of things that did surprise me, one was the russian air force. so the russian air force did not perform the way i thought they were going to perform. and that's because again, the ukrainians, the ukrainian air defense was extraordinarily effective against the russian air force and they shot down the russian airplanes in the initial part of the fight. and so the russians, all the russians have done now is use their air force from russian airspace, launching long range precision missiles into ukraine. so that was, that was one, the other one that really surprised me was the ineffective use of russian electronic warfare. i thought that was going to be a much bigger factor than it proved to be. and i still am not 100% sure why they didn't shut down all the command and control networks that the ukrainians were using. some people have suggested because they're using the same frequency levels, same radio types, that sort of thing. i don't know. i'm not sure even today, what the full reason is, but the russian, the full capability of russian electronic wa

you are hearing the sound of air raid sirens here in dnipro and across the country. as you heard from speaker it enables ukrainian forcestainty among their russian opponents because these are weapons that have a very long range, highly capable, difficult to intercept and carry a large payload. it is understood initially they will only be used to defend ukrainian troops in the russian on clave of kursk where ukrainian troops have been present since august. this may be because of the widely anticipated use of 10,000 anticipated use of 10 , 000 troops anticipated use of 10,000 troops from north korea and the very real possibility that russia will watch a counteroffensive there to try to push the ukrainians out. it seems as though washington is happy and content for ukraine to stay inside russia, perhaps so kursk becomes a bargaining chip in future negotiations. there is one other effect that the decision will have, that is of britain and france, who have been waiting for washington to take the step before they to relax restrictions on ukraine's use of storm shadow missiles again deep inside russia. president zelensky has b
