Moscow: The Russian Ministry of Defense announced Tuesday that its air defense systems shot down 50 Ukrainian drones over various regions.

According to Qatar News Agency, the Ministry stated that last night, air defense systems destroyed 50 Ukrainian drones across several Russian regions: seven were destroyed over the Republic of Crimea, 16 over Rostov Oblast, 11 over the Sea of Azov, five over Kursk Oblast, four over Saratov Oblast, three over the Black Sea, two over Belgorod Oblast, and one each over the Voronezh and Oryol Oblasts.

Russia and Ukraine exchange almost daily reports of repelling attacks from both sides, with no independent sources available to confirm these numbers due to the ongoing war since Feb. 24, 2022.
