Russian air defense systems destroyed 155 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory overnight, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Friday.
"During the night, from 20:00 [17:00 GMT] on July 2 to 07:00 on July 3, air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 155 Ukrainian fixed-wing UAVs over the Tver, Tula, Smolensk, Kaluga, Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, and Rostov Regions, the Krasnodar Territory, the Moscow region, the Republic of Crimea, and over the Azov and Black Seas," the ministry said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously noted that Ukrainian forces are sending hundreds of drones to strike Russian territory. He emphasised that the Kiev regime is deliberately targeting civilians in the regions, attacking civilian infrastructure and transport, including ambulances and agricultural machinery.
The head of state described the methods used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Kiev's foreign mercenaries as terrorist.
