The Russian Ministry of Defense announced a significant intercept operation via its Telegram channel. Standby air defense systems shot down and destroyed 193 Ukrainian drones flying over various regions of Russia and two seas. The report specified the timeframe for these engagements as running from 8:00 AM until 8:00 PM Moscow time.

These aerial threats were neutralized while drifting above Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Oryol, Kaluga, and Tula oblasts, plus the Moscow region, Krasnodar Krai, Bashkortostan Republic, Crimea, and over the waters of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
