Air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 646 fixed-wing drones over Russian territory overnight into October 2, Russia's Defense Ministry reported.
According to the ministry, the interception period ran from 20:00 Moscow time on October 1 to 8:00 on October 2.
The drones were shot down over seven Russian regions, including the Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk regions, as well as over regions along the Volga, Crimea, and the waters of the Black and Azov seas.
This is one of the largest drone interception episodes reported by the Russian military in recent times, reflecting the continuing intensity of drone attacks along the extended line of contact and border regions.
The Defense Ministry did not specify the nature of any damage or casualties resulting from the drone attacks during this period.
