Russia claims 97 Ukrainian drones downed in one day over regions and Black Sea

Russia's MoD reports intercepting 97 Ukrainian drones between 08:00 and 20:00 Moscow time on Thursday, spanning Russian regions and the Black Sea. The claim is unverified and likely part of ongoing daily attrition reporting; the scale suggests a sustained Ukrainian long-range strike campaign. This matters as it indicates continued deep-strike pressure on Russian territory and air defense strain.
