Russia Says It Shot Down 616 Ukrainian Drones Overnight

Russia’s Defence Ministry said its air defence systems intercepted and destroyed 616 Ukrainian drones overnight over areas including Moscow, Crimea, Krasnodar, the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea.

The war between Russia and Ukraine has entered a new phase, with both sides stepping up drone and missile attacks against each other.

As the conflict continues, Donald Trump, the former US president, once claimed he could end the war in less than 24 hours, but the continuation of the fighting during the second year of his presidency has called those claims into question.
