Moscow, Apr 9 (Prensa Latina) The Russian air defense systems shot down, during the last day, 158 Ukrainian drones that targeted 11 regions, as well as over the Azov and Black seas, the Defense Ministry informed on Wednesday.

The military institution announced on its official Telegram channel that in this new massive attack by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), 67 drones were shot down in the Krasnodar region alone.

The release added that 29 UAVs were also shot down over the Rostov region, 15 over the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, 11 over the Voronezh region, 10 over the Kursk region, five drones in the Belgorod region, and three over the Republic of Crimea.
