Russia says 132 Ukrainian drones knocked down overnight

Russia’s Ministry of Defense says it destroyed 132 Ukrainian drones launched in overnight attacks in several regions throughout the country, as foreign powers press for a ceasefire in the three-year-old conflict.

“Over the course of the past night, air defense systems on duty destroyed 132 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles,” Moscow’s defense ministry says in a Telegram post.

The governor of Russia’s Saratov region says an airfield there is on fire following a Ukrainian drone attack, forcing some nearby residents to evacuate.
