Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed that 158 drones were downed overnight.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin claimed that at least nine drones were downed in Russia’s capital region. One of the drones was reportedly destroyed near the Moscow Oil Refinery, according to Sobyanin. One of the refinery’s buildings was damaged and a fire was reported following the attack, Russia’s state-owned Ria Novosti outlet reported.
