The Russian Defence Ministry has claimed that its air defence systems intercepted 59 Ukrainian drones overnight.

Quote: "Our air defence systems intercepted and destroyed 59 Ukrainian UAVs last night."

Details: The majority of the drones – 11 – were intercepted over the Black Sea. Another 10 were downed over Krasnodar Krai, 8 over Bryansk Oblast and 6 over Lipetsk Oblast.

Four drones were destroyed over Kaluga Oblast, four over the Adygean Republic, four over the Sea of Azov and four over occupied Crimea. Three drones were downed over Moscow Oblast, including one heading towards the city of Moscow.

Two drones were intercepted over Belgorod Oblast and one each over Voronezh, Smolensk and Tula oblasts.

The Russian Defence Ministry made no mention of Volgograd Oblast, where a fire had occurred following a drone attack. The governor of Volgograd Oblast said the blaze had been caused by falling drone debris.
