Details: In addition to drones, Russia launched more than 1,450 guided aerial bombs and 40 missiles of various types against Ukraine.

Quote: "The Russians are not dialing back their war effort against our state and our people, and at the same time, they are openly investing in prolonging another war that is driving global destabilisation.

Ukraine is being attacked with essentially the same strike drones as those used against countries in the Middle East and the Gulf region. Ballistic weapons are used against us just as cynically as they are against our partners. The destabilisation of global markets and the blocking of maritime routes have not left a single country unaffected. We are making our contribution to guaranteeing security."

Background: On the night of 28-29 March, Russian forces attacked Ukraine with a Kinzhal air-launched ballistic missile and 442 UAVs, about 300 of them Shahed-type drones, the Ukrainian Air Force reported.
