RUSSIA SHOT DOWN 605 Ukrainian drones during the night over its territory and the annexed Crimean Peninsula, the defence ministry said Thursday. “During the night… air defence systems intercepted and destroyed 605 Ukrainian aerial drones,” the ministry said in a statement. Regional governor Vitaly Korolyov said air defence systems had repelled the Ukrainian attack. Ukraine has repeatedly struck sites belonging to Wildberries – a popular online commerce platform often described as Russia’s Amazon – across the country since mid-July. Mikhail Yevrayev, governor of the Yaroslavl region around 250 kilometres north of Moscow, reported the “most massive attack” against his region, saying 92 drones had been shot down.
