Ukraine's Air Force said Russia launched 157 Shahed and Gerbera drones overnight into 3 October, including some jet-powered Shaheds, as well as Parodiya decoy drones. Ukrainian forces intercepted 131 drones. Hits were recorded at 12 locations, while falling debris was reported at five other sites. The figures are Ukraine's Air Force account and are not independently verified.

Verification: unverified

Evidence: Russian strikes kill 8, injure 83 across Ukraine, target another key Kyiv bridge, Russia strikes another major bridge in Kyiv as attacks on Ukrainian capital escalate

Both cited outlets relay the same Ukrainian Air Force account; repetition does not independently confirm its figures. The Kyiv Independent article was read. CNN’s full article was unavailable to the original publisher, so its indexed summary is not a second verified figure set.
