Russia"s Defense Ministry reported that 41 one-way attack drones were intercepted over the Novgorod Oblast. This announcement follows claims made by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who stated that 91 drones were launched by Ukraine two nights ago at President Vladimir Putin"s state residence.
The Russian Ministry of Defense did not initially mention the Presidential Residence in its report, which only addressed the interception of the drones. Lavrov"s comments have drawn attention to the incident, but the official defense report remains focused on the number of drones intercepted.
This situation comes amid ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with both sides frequently exchanging accusations regarding military actions. For further context on related developments, see our coverage on recent developments in international affairs.
