Russia 'downs' dozens of Ukraine drones over Crimea

Kyiv, The Gulf Observer: Russian air defences and electronic countermeasure systems have downed 28 Ukrainian drones over Crimea, the RIA news agency cited the Russian defence ministry as saying.

The drone attacks caused no casualties or damages, the ministry said.

The raid followed an attack by Ukrainian sea drones on the Crimea bridge on Monday which damaged it and disrupted car traffic.

This comes after Russia refused to extend a deal on Monday to allow Ukrainian grain exports through the Black Sea, sparking outrage from the United Nations, which warned millions of the world’s poorest would “pay the price”.
