Russia Claims Shooting Down 660 Ukrainian Drones Overnight Across Multiple Regions

Russia's Defence Ministry stated that 660 Ukrainian drones were shot down overnight, with the attacks occurring across multiple regions, including the Russian capital, Crimea, the Black Sea, and the Sea of Azov. The Ministry's report was published on Russia's state-run Max platform. Al Jazeera reported that the drone attack is one of Kyiv's biggest of the war, placing additional pressure on Russia as it faces fuel shortages. The two sources do not diverge in their reporting of the event itself, though they differ in their emphasis on the context and implications of the attack.
