Russia claims to have intercepted 95 Ukrainian drones across multiple regions.

Russian air defense systems successfully intercepted and eliminated 95 Ukrainian drones over various regions within a six-hour window, according to the Ministry of Defense as reported by RIA Novosti.

The neutralizations occurred between 2:00 PM and 8:00 PM Moscow time, with systems engaging targets across the Belgorod, Bryansk, Kaluga, Kursk, Oryol, Ryazan, Tula, and Moscow regions. The defense network also secured airspace over the Krasnodar region, Crimea, and the Black Sea.

This latest surge in aerial threats follows a broader pattern of intensified drone operations. In a separate report regarding the "Southern" group of troops, operators destroyed over 60 Ukrainian drone control points within a single week.

Specifically in the Donetsk direction, forces shot down 117 drones. The breakdown of these losses includes 45 in the Kramatorsk sector, more than 50 in the Konstantinovka sector, and over 20 in the Slaviansk sector.

Earlier data indicated that Russian defenses had already destroyed more than 120 drones over Russian territory in a six-hour period, underscoring the escalating frequency of aerial incursions and the critical role of air defense systems in protecting civilian infrastructure and government installations.
