Last night, Russian armed forces intercepted and destroyed 604 Ukrainian drones, as stated by the Russian military command. Most of the drones were aimed at the Moscow region, according to information from the Ministry of Defense and the mayor of the Russian capital.

The military command revealed that the downed drones were of the fixed-wing type and were detected in various areas, including 15 Russian regions and the Sea of Azov. This statement was released via the Telegram platform.

In addition, the Ukrainian drone attack on Yandex, a Russian company, resulted in failures of several applications and payment services in Russia, directly impacting users and associated businesses.

Yandex announced the suspension of fees on certain services in response to the situation and reported a significant drop in its stock on the Moscow Exchange, reflecting the economic impact of the attacks.

These events occur amid growing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with an escalation of military operations on both sides.

While the Russian military command highlights successes in airspace defense, the situation at Yandex illustrates the broader repercussions of the conflicts, directly affecting daily life and the economy in Russia.
