"Ukraine Counters Massive New Year's Drone Assault Amidst Mourning and Presidential Addresses"

Russia launched a record number of 90 Shahed-type drones over Ukraine on New Year's Day, with Ukrainian forces shooting down 87. The attacks resulted in casualties, including a 15-year-old boy killed in Odesa and damage to infrastructure such as a museum in Lviv and university buildings in Dubliany. Meanwhile, Ukrainian shelling reportedly caused deaths in Russian-occupied Donetsk and the Russian border town of Shebekino. The drone strikes are part of a series of heavy aerial bombardments that have escalated since Friday, with significant loss of life on both sides.
