Russia claims to have shot down 320 Ukrainian drones overnight

Russia’s Defence Ministry has claimed that its air defence systems intercepted 320 Ukrainian drones during overnight operations. The statement was released on Tuesday, as part of ongoing reports from Moscow regarding aerial engagements along the front lines. Russia regularly publishes claims about drone interceptions and air defence successes, though independent verification of such figures is typically difficult. Ukraine has been conducting sustained drone operations against Russian territory throughout the conflict, targeting military installations, infrastructure and logistics hubs. Moscow has previously reported similar large-scale drone interception figures, describing them as evidence of the effectiveness of its air defence capabilities. The claimed interceptions, if accurate, would represent a significant volume of unmanned aerial vehicles. Such drone strikes have become a defining feature of the conflict, with both sides deploying increasingly sophisticated systems. Russia has invested heavily in air defence modernisation to counter Ukrainian drone operations across its territory.
