Moscow, April 9 (QNA) – The Russian Ministry of Defense announced Thursday that its air defense systems destroyed 69 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory last night.

The ministry said in a statement that the Ukrainian drones were destroyed over the Kursk and Astrakhan regions, as well as the Krasnodar Territory and the Sea of ​​Azov.

Since February 24, 2022, Russia and Ukraine have been exchanging almost daily reports claiming advances or the repelling of attacks by the other side, without independent verification of these claims due to the ongoing fighting. (QNA)
