Russia attacked Ukraine with 164 drones and an Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missile overnight on Sept. 13 as top officials gathered in Kyiv for the annual Yalta European Strategy (YES) conference, the Air Force reported.

Ukrainian air defense downed 137 drones in the north, south, east, and center of Ukraine, according to the Air Force.

However, a missile and 27 drones struck nine locations, although the Air Force did not specify where. No victims were reported.

Russia has amped up its drone attacks this year, with a record 810 launched at Ukraine on Sept. 7.
