01:52 GMT 25.08.2023 (Updated: 06:03 GMT 25.08.2023) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia was attacked early Friday by 42 Ukrainian drones, 33 of them were suppressed by electronic warfare systems, and nine were shot down by air defenses, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
"The Kiev regime's attempt to carry out terrorist attacks using aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles on the territory of the Russian Federation was thwarted last night. A total of 42 UAVs were detected by the air defense systems," the ministry said.
"Nine UAVs were destroyed, 33 were suppressed by electronic warfare systems and crashed without reaching the target over the territory of the Republic of Crimea," it said.
