Russian air defense systems destroy 235 Ukrainian drones

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced yesterday that air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 235 drones launched by Ukraine during the past night. A local governor reported that a fire broke out at an oil warehouse in Orekhovo-Zuevo in the Volgograd region due to falling drone debris. The aviation authority stated that at least 10 Russian airports, including those in Moscow and St. Petersburg, have imposed temporary flight restrictions. This came after the Ukrainian Navy accused Russia of targeting a civilian Turkish vessel carrying a sunflower oil shipment with a drone, one day after Moscow shelled two Ukrainian ports.
