On a quiet sunday morning Russian Defense Ministry reported destroying 34 drones over Moscow — the largest-ever air-strike on the capital since the conflicts start about two-and-a-half years ago. Another three-dozen unmanned vehicles were shot down across western Russia regions

The attack caused major disruptions at Moscows air-hubs (Domodedovo Sheremetyevo and Zhukovsky) with 36 flights getting re-routed; however operations quickly went back-to-normal. One person got hurt in the Moscow area which has more than 21 million inhabitants

Ukraine confirmed targeting a military storage facility in Bryansk while facing its own challenges: out of 145 drones launched by Russia they managed to intercept 62 of them. The Ukrainian Military Command stated that their strike was aimed at specific military targets

An attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack using airplane-type drones on the territory of the Russian Federation was thwarted
