Mixed waves of drones and missiles are a settled feature of this war rather than a novelty, and part of the reasoning is economic. A drone costs a fraction of the interceptor sent after it. Sending many of them exhausts both the stock of interceptors and the attention of the crews operating them.
Missiles arriving in the same wave then test whatever remains. That sequence is why reporting on a wave usually covers geography and timing together: where the drones were seen, how long the alert lasted, and how quickly the second type followed. None of that appears in AP's summary, which reports the injuries and leaves the mechanics to fuller coverage.
For anyone reading a roundup like this one, the useful habit is to notice what is not claimed. A summary that describes injuries is not the same document as a damage assessment, and treating the first as the second is how invented figures get repeated.
