Russian Air Defences Down Multiple Ukrainian Drones Over Moscow and Southern Regions

Russian air defenses have been actively intercepting and shooting down numerous Ukrainian drones targeting various regions, including Moscow, southern Russia, Crimea, and eastern Ukraine. Moscow's mayor reported downing several drones heading toward the capital, while the Russian Defense Ministry claimed to have destroyed as many as 98 drones across multiple oblasts, with flights suspended at several Russian airports due to drone threats. Concurrently, Ukraine's Sumy region suffered significant damage from Russian drone strikes targeting civilian infrastructure, resulting in fires, injuries to multiple residents including children, and damage to railway facilities. In Europe, unidentified drone sightings have led to flight suspensions at Berlin Brandenburg Airport and other airports in Denmark, Norway, and Poland, with German officials attributing these incidents to hybrid threats likely linked to Russia amid ongoing tensions.
