Russia's Defense Ministry announced it intercepted 660 Ukrainian drones overnight — the highest single-night figure it has reported in recent weeks, according to journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), citing the official Russian statement.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, Russia has regularly claimed large-scale overnight drone interceptions, including 555 drones on June 18, 330 on June 11, and 323 on June 24. The latest tally is roughly 20% higher than the previous peak. All these figures rely on a single official Russian source and have not been independently verified.
The jump in the reported number, if accurate, would mark a notable intensification of Ukraine's long-range drone campaign against Russian territory. No details on damage, casualties, or specific target regions have been provided.
