Russia intercepts 155 Ukrainian drones overnight, causing casualties

Russian air defence systems intercepted 155 Ukrainian drones overnight, the defence ministry has said, with local officials saying at least two people were killed by drones.

From 11pm local time last night until 7am, \"air defence systems on duty intercepted and destroyed 155 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles of the fixed-wing type\", the ministry said on Telegram, adding that 53 of the drones were shot down over the Kursk region bordering Ukraine.

Three of the four airports serving the Russian capital, Domodedovo, Vnukovo and Zhukovsky, suspended operations temporarily but later resumed, Russia's aviation authority Rosaviatsia said late last night.

Earlier the governor of the western Lipetsk region said that one person died after a drone crashed into a farming area.

\"Tonight, a drone crashed into the territory of one of the agricultural enterprises of Khlevensky district,\" which is around 400km south of Moscow, Igor Artamonov wrote on Telegram.

\"As a result, a fire broke out, which was quickly extinguished,\" he said, adding that one person died and another was wounded.

One other person was killed and another wounded in a drone attack on Russia's western Tula region, governor Dmitry Milyaev said on Telegram.

In Ukraine's Kharkiv region, on the border with Russia, a Russian strike hit the city of Chuguiv early this morning, destroying two private homes and damaging a hospital building, Mayor Galyna Minaeva wrote on Facebook.

Three people were wounded, she said.

Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv city military administration, said on Telegram that at least 28 people, including two minors, were wounded in Russian shelling yesterday.

Over the past week, Moscow has struck Ukraine with the largest drone and missile barrages since it sent troops into its neighbour in February 2022.
