Russia says its air defenses intercept nearly 900 Ukrainian drones overnight across multiple regions, according to its Defense Ministry statements reported by several outlets. The reports also say a fuel depot in Russia’s Moscow region is reportedly burning.
The sources frame the developments as part of an ongoing drone campaign and wider attacks involving Russian energy targets. The Hindu adds that Ukraine continues targeting Russian oil refineries, while it also reports that Russia strikes a bridge in Zaporizhzhia. Other coverage focuses primarily on the scale of the interceptions and the reported fire at the fuel depot, without adding details on other specific battlefield incidents.
While outlets draw on the same Russian claims about drone interceptions and the reported depot fire, they differ in emphasis—some center on air-defense figures, while at least one also highlights other alleged strikes and the broader operational context.
