The Russian Defense Ministry announced that 754 Ukrainian drones were shot down in a day
The Russian military claims that over the past 24 hours, air defense systems shot down 754 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory and annexed Crimea.
In addition, the Russian Defense Ministry said, "six guided aerial bombs and six HIMARS multiple launch rocket system rockets" were shot down.
The previous time the Defense Ministry said it had managed to shoot down 754 drones was on March 9, 2026. Ukrainian media then noted that this was a record since the start of the full-scale war.
