Russia’s Ministry of Defense reported that during the night of March 28, air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 155 Ukrainian fixed-wing kamikaze drones.

According to the ministry, attack attempts were recorded between 23:00 on March 27 and 07:00 on March 28. The drones were detected and shot down over multiple Russian regions, including Bryansk, Leningrad, Smolensk, Belgorod, Kursk, Pskov, Kaluga, Tver, Voronezh, Rostov, Ryazan, Oryol, Tula, Yaroslavl, and Novgorod regions, as well as over the Republic of Crimea and the Moscow region.
