Russia Successfully Thwarts Ukrainian Drone Attacks on Moscow and Crimea

Russia's Defense Ministry announced that it had repelled a wave of Ukrainian drones, shooting down 11 near Crimea and two heading towards Moscow. The ministry stated that nine drones were suppressed using electronic warfare and crashed into the Black Sea. No damage or casualties were reported. These attacks mark the fourth near Moscow in the past week, with the capital previously untouched by the conflict. The Crimean peninsula has experienced frequent attacks in recent weeks, and Ukrainian President Zelensky warned of impending war targeting Russia's symbolic centers and military bases.
