Russia has said it thwarted Ukrainian drone attacks over several regions, injuring two people. Moscow said an attempt by Kyiv to carry out an “attack with an aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicle was thwarted”, AFP reported. The drone was “suppressed by means of electronic warfare” and crashed in Odintsovo district, Russia’s Defence Ministry said. Two people were injured by debris after Russian air defences thwarted a Ukrainian drone attack, a regional governor said. Russian attacks against Ukraine killed three civilians and injured 24 people over the past 24 hours, according to regional authorities. Ukraine said its troops have had “success” south-east of the village of Robotyne and south of Mala Tokmachka in Zaporizhzia. Ukraine’s Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar said Russians had tried unsuccessfully to take back lost positions east of Robotyne.
