Russian air‑defence units announced they had destroyed 149 Ukrainian drones that attempted to breach airspace. The announcement came following a period that had reported a dramatically larger wave of drone activity just previously, when over a thousand drones were intercepted in what was noted as one of the most intense attacks in a year.
The intercepted drones were reported across multiple regions and republics. Russian officials said the Volga Federal District experienced the highest concentration of incidents. Within that district, the republics of Tatarstan and Udmurtia were specifically mentioned as locations where the air‑defence systems engaged the drones.
