Russia’s defence ministry said overnight its air-defence systems intercepted and
destroyed 123 Ukrainian drones across multiple areas including Moscow region and
Belgorod region. The ministry said Russian forces responded with long‑range
precision‑guided weapons and attack drones, striking military‑industrial
facilities and military airfields in Kyiv, Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk. The
Ukrainian Air Force said Russian forces launched a large‑scale strike from 18:00
on June 14 to the early hours of June 15, recording 681 incoming targets —
including six Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles, dozens of other missiles and
611 drones — and that by 08:00 Ukrainian forces had shot down or electronically
suppressed 632 targets.
