The ministry said 89 fixed-wing drones were intercepted over Crimea’s Sevastopol, which is home to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. Another 23 drones were shot down over the Black Sea.
The ministry said there was no damage on the ground.
Sevastopol Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev said it was a massive raid which was foiled with the combined efforts of the naval and ground based air defence forces.
Four drones were downed over the Krasnodar Region, two over the Oryol Region, and one each over the Bryansk and the Belgorod regions. One UAV was intercepted over the Sea of Azov. PTI VS SCY SCY
