Russia's Defense Ministry announced that it intercepted 555 Ukrainian drones overnight, according to journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), citing an official Russian statement. The large number fits a recent pattern of Russia reporting massive overnight drone interceptions, but the claim has not been independently verified.
Russia's Defense Ministry claims its forces intercepted 555 Ukrainian drones overnight, according to a report by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) citing an official Russian announcement. This is the latest in a series of large-scale overnight interception claims by Moscow. As The Zioneer has reported, Russia claimed to have downed 330 drones on the night of June 10-11, and 500 drones in a 24-hour period earlier in the week. A separate large-scale drone attack on Moscow was reported on Tuesday morning, grounding airports. The ministry's latest figure represents a significant escalation in the number of drones Russia says it engaged in a single night. The claims come from a single official source — Russia's own Defense Ministry — and have not been independently verified. No details on targets, areas affected, or damage have been released.
