Russian air defences downed 389 incoming Ukrainian drones, Russia’s Defence Ministry said on Wednesday, in what was the largest reported overnight attack on Russian regions and Crimea since Moscow’s forces invaded Ukraine more than four years ago.

The drones were stopped over 13 Russian regions as well as the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia illegally annexed from Ukraine in 2014. 


It came a day after Russia fired almost 1000 drones and 34 missiles at civilian areas of Ukraine in 24 hours, in one of its biggest aerial attacks of the war.
