Arab Sea_Agencies: The Russian Ministry of Defense announced, according to TASS news agency on Thursday, that Russian air defense systems managed to destroy and intercept 130 Ukrainian drones during the night, in what it described as one of the largest air attacks that have been countered recently. The ministry explained that the drones targeted various areas inside Russian territory, without mentioning any casualties or significant material damage. The targeted locations were not precisely identified, but the attack comes within the escalation of cross-border air operations in light of the ongoing conflict between Moscow and Kyiv. The Ministry of Defense confirmed that its air units deployed in several Russian regions were on high alert, which contributed to thwarting the attack and preventing enemy aircraft from reaching their targets, according to Reuters. These developments coincide with increasing reports about Ukraine intensifying the use of drones in its offensive operations, both within the conflict zones and deep inside Russian territory, in an attempt to confuse Russian defenses and respond to the ongoing attacks on Ukrainian territory.
