Ukrainian officials say Russia has fired more than 700 attack and decoy drones at Ukraine overnight. That tops previous nightly barrages for the third time in two weeks.

KYIV, July 9 (Reuters) - Russia targeted Ukraine with a record 728 drones overnight, shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump pledged to send more defensive weapons to Kyiv and aimed unusually direct criticism at Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Ukraine's military said it eliminated hundreds of Russian drones overnight after Moscow launched a massive aerial attack targeting the northwestern city of Lutsk.
