01 · THE DISPATCH

Russia's Defense Ministry reported intercepting 430 Ukrainian drones overnight, according to journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) citing an official statement. Of those, 91 were downed over Moscow province, the ministry said. The figure marks the latest in a series of large-scale interception claims by Russia in recent weeks. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Moscow has claimed overnight drone downings of 500, 555, 419, and 660 drones in separate recent incidents — all from single official Russian sources without independent verification. The current claim, like the others, has not been independently confirmed, and details on any damage or casualties on the ground have not yet emerged.
