That is what the Russian army claimed on Wednesday ten Ukrainian drones shot down or disabled in an attempted “massive” attack on facilities in the annexed Crimea peninsulaafter a similar raid the day before with these devices on Russian territory.
“A massive drone strike by the Kiev regime against facilities on the Crimean peninsula has been thwarted,” the Russian defense ministry said in a statement.
According to the ministry Russian air defenses shot down six Ukrainian attack drones and four others were electronically disabled.

On Tuesday, Russian territory was subjected to a drone strike, which caused no damage.
For the first time such a plane crashed in the region of the capital Moscow.
Three other drones were shot down in other regions late Tuesday morning.
It is not the first time that Crimea, a peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014, where its Black Sea fleet is based and from which it carries out part of its offensive in Ukraine, has been attacked by drones.
Pilotless planes were already targeting the port of Sevastopol in December. In October the target was a power plant and in August the General Staff of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
