According to its own statements, Russia shot down five Ukrainian drones on Sunday night. Four drones were intercepted off the coast of the Crimean peninsula, the fifth over the Istra district in the capital region of Moscow, authorities said. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said there were no reports of damage from debris.
The Russian Defense Ministry announced the shooting down off the peninsula, which was annexed in violation of international law. Accordingly, two drones were intercepted off the northwestern coast of Crimea and two more off the eastern coast. It did not provide any information about possible damage or casualties.
Ukraine has been flying attacks on the territory of the aggressor Russia for months. The recapture of the Crimean peninsula is one of Kiev’s most important war goals, which in the ongoing counteroffensive wants to cut off the supply lines between Crimea and Russia that run through occupied southern Ukrainian territory.
