0:57Now PlayingRussia said its air defenses downed 117 drones and four tactical missiles, one of the largest overnight attacks of the war, as Ukrainian forces claimed to be continuing advances on Russian territory.
The Defense Ministry in Moscow said its forces destroyed unmanned aerial vehicles over almost all regions bordering Ukraine as well as in the Nizhny Novgorod region to the east of the Russian capital. Regional Governor Gleb Nikitin said drones attacked the Kulebaksky district, which is home to a military airbase about 700 kilometers (435 miles) from the Ukrainian border.
The overnight operation was the biggest involving long-range drones and targeted four Russian airbases to undermine its military’s ability to use glide bombs, said a Ukrainian official with knowledge of the situation, who asked not to be identified discussing sensitive matters. A Russian Su-34 fighter bomber was also shot down in the Kursk region, according to Ukraine’s General Staff.
