Russia claims to have intercepted 251 Ukrainian drones, highlighting ongoing drone warfare challenges.
Russia reported that its air defense units successfully intercepted and destroyed 251 Ukrainian drones overnight, with 61 of these incidents occurring over the Black Sea and one drone reportedly heading towards Moscow. While the Russian defense ministry provided these figures via Telegram, it did not disclose the total number of drones launched by Ukraine or any potential damage caused by the intercepted drones. Ukrainian sources claimed that an oil depot in Feodosia, Crimea, caught fire following an attack, although these reports remain unverified. This incident underscores the ongoing hostilities in the region, highlighting the persistent threat posed by drone warfare and the increasing reliance on air defense systems, which could influence defense strategies across neighboring countries, including India.
