According to the daily air force report, Russia targeted Ukraine with 208 drones and 27 missiles overnight. It said according to preliminary data, air defense and electronic warfare took down or intercepted 183 drones and 17 missiles but nine locations recorded hits from 10 missiles and 25 drones.

Auterion’s “strike kits” — miniature computers known as Skynode that run the company’s software and include a camera and radio — can transform manually controlled drones into “AI-powered weapons systems” that cannot be jammed and can track a moving target from as far away as 1km, said Meier.

Ukraine and Russia attacked targets on each other's territory on Thursday after brief direct talks between the two sides failed to make any progress on steps to end nearly three-and-a-half years of war.

At least three civilians were killed in Russian attacks on the Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhya, authorities said on Friday, as the embattled nation's president said more money is needed to fend off Moscow's forces.

Russia and Ukraine traded aerial attacks overnight, resulting in two deaths in each country and many people wounded on both sides, according to officials.
