The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on Tuesday that its air defense systems had intercepted nearly 900 Ukrainian drones during the previous night. These drones were detected in several regions of Russia, as well as in the occupied Crimean Peninsula and over the Sea of Azov.
If these figures are accurate, this would represent one of the largest drone attacks launched by the Ukraine against Russia since the beginning of the conflict, notes France 24 correspondent Gulliver Cragg.
