A Ukrainian official said Monday that an overnight Russian drone attack on Ukraine was the biggest of the three-year war.

The Russian bombardment included 355 drones, Yuriy Ihnat, head of the Ukrainian air force’s communications department, told The Associated Press.

Russia also fired nine cruise missiles during the Sunday night attack, Ukrainian authorities said. Officials reported some civilians were injured. No deaths were immediately reported.

On Saturday night, the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and other regions came under a massive Russian combined drone-and-missile attack that killed at least 12 people and injured dozens. Ukrainian officials described it as Russia’s largest aerial assault during the war.

The numbers could not be independently verified.

There was no immediate comment from Russian authorities.

South Korean special prosecutors on Sunday filed a request to detain former President Yoon Suk Yeol on charges related to insurrection from when he declared martial law last year, the prosecutor's office said in a statement.

"Detention request is related to allegations of abuse of power and obstruction of justice," the statement from the special counsel of prosecutors investigating the December 3 incident said.

Yoon's martial law decree was lifted about six hours after it was announced when lawmakers, who had been forced to scale the walls of the assembly building to make it through a ring of security forces, voted the decree down.

According to Reuters, Yoon was summoned on Saturday for hours of questioning by the special counsel as part of the probe over the insurrection charges, according to the counsel officials.

Yoon's lawyer was not immediately available for comment on Sunday.
