Ukraine's air defence absorbed most of the swarm: gunners and electronic-warfare crews destroyed or jammed 29 X-101 cruise missiles, 12 Iskander or S-400 missiles, and 652 of the 675 drones Russia launched. That interception rate — about 96% on drones — explains why the casualty count, while grim, sits in the dozens rather than the hundreds despite the size of the strike package. What got through still wrecked 18 apartments in one Darnytskyi block, sparked fires in Dniprovskyi, Holosiivskyi, Solomianskyi, and Obolonskyi, and severed a DTEK transformer substation that kept eastern Kyiv's water flowing.
