Russian air defences down 65 drones headed for Moscow, mayor says

  • Authorities reported a drone overflew the region before disappearing from radar, prompting an immediate investigation into potential security implications for border air defenses.
  • This incursion occurred amid intense regional drone warfare, as the Russian Defence Ministry reported intercepting 280 Ukrainian drones across central and western Russia on Saturday over a 10-hour period.
  • Russian officials confirmed 47 drones targeted Moscow during the assault, while Bryansk governor Alexander Bogomaz reported his region downed 128 drones, with seven people killed in the area.
  • The incident forced authorities to assess immediate airspace surveillance and civil-aviation precautions, as even a single overflight heightens the risk of cross-border spillover and regional instability.
  • President Donald Trump criticized Zelensky's refusal to negotiate with Vladimir Putin, even as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed "100 per cent" proof of Iranian intelligence sharing with Moscow.
