In a significant show of military prowess, Russia's Ministry of Defence announced on Friday the successful neutralization of 90 Ukrainian drones that attempted to cross into Russian territory and the Black Sea overnight.

The city of Tver, located 181 kilometers northwest of Moscow, reported injuries to seven individuals due to the drone incursion, while Moscow itself was safeguarded by the interception of eight drones aimed towards its heart.

In response to these threats, Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport halted departures temporarily, with several other airports across the nation experiencing similar closures amid the heightened drone activity.
