The Russian air defence forces intercepted and destroyed 295 Ukrainian drones overnight, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.
"During the past night, from 20:00 [17"00 GMT] on July 28 to 8:00 on July 29, the air defence forces on duty intercepted and destroyed 295 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles of an airplane type over the territories of Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh, Kaluga, Kursk, Oryol, Rostov, Ryazan regions, the Krasnodar Territory, the Republic of Crimea, the Chuvash Republic, the Republic of Tatarstan and over the waters of the Azov and Black Seas," the ministry said in a statement.
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.
