Russia's Defense Ministry announced it intercepted 301 Ukrainian drones overnight, according to a single official Russian source as reported by journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12).

The claim fits a pattern: as The Zioneer reported this month, Russia has repeatedly announced large-scale overnight drone interceptions — 330 on June 11, 555 on June 18, and 500 over the past day on June 7. Each claim comes from a single official Russian source and has not been independently verified.

No details on targets, damage, casualties, or which regions were affected are yet available.
