Ukraine Downs Majority of Russian Drones Amid Ongoing Attacks

Regional and Ukrainian outlets stress that, despite Russian interception claims, Ukrainian drones are still reaching and damaging high‑value targets in Russia and occupied Crimea. They point to strikes on an oil depot, Russian air defense systems, and the last Kerch Strait ferry supplying Crimea as signs that Ukraine can disrupt Russian logistics and military assets far from the front line. These outlets also report that Russian drones continue to hit Ukrainian energy sites, forcing Ukraine to rely heavily on its own air defenses.
