Ukraine has destroyed 28 missiles and 15 Russian unmanned aerial vehicles (‘drones’) in recent hours, while Russia claims to have shot down ‘Ukrainian ‘drones’ in six regions of the country, including Moscow.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported that “all night” air defenses thwarted attempts by the regime in Kiev to carry out a terrorist attack with unmanned aerial vehicles on targets in the Russian Federation.
According to the same communiqué, anti-aircraft systems destroyed three “drones” in the Briansk region, on the border with Ukraine, between Tuesday evening and early morning.
What a night! The Russians are experiencing what Ukrainians have been living with for 1.5 years.

Another ‘drone’ attack attributed to Ukraine hit the provinces of Oryol, Kaluga and Riazán and one of the drones was shot down in the Moscow region.
According to the Ministry of Defense of Russia, a total of eight ‘drones’ have been destroyed.
According to the official version, the attacks in Russia did not cause any injuries or material damage.
Russia’s foreign ministry says nighttime drone strikes, blamed on Ukraine, “will not go unpunished,” according to The Guardian.
Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told journalists that the drones could not have covered the distances they did without information from Western countries.
On the other hand, the Ukrainian Air Force claimed to have shot down 28 missiles and 15 “drones” at dawn today during “an attack by Russian troops” on the capital Kiev and other regions of Ukraine.
