Russia claims 629 Ukrainian drones, 6 guided bombs downed in 24 hours

Russia's MoD reports its air defenses destroyed 629 Ukrainian drones and six guided bombs in a day, a high daily tally that, if accurate, signals sustained Ukrainian long-range strike pressure. The claim is unverified and likely inflated for propaganda, but the scale suggests continued deep-strike operations by Ukraine. This matters as it indicates the conflict's attritional drone war is intensifying, with potential implications for air-defense resource consumption and civilian infrastructure exposure.
