Russian air defense forces shot down 36 Ukrainian drones overnight in the Kursk, Bryansk, Kaluga, Smolensk, and Moscow regions. Ukrainian armed forces attempt almost daily to attack targets in Russia’s border central regions with drones, but Russian air defense successfully intercepts and destroys enemy aircraft. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin confirmed that four drones attacked the Russian capital, and emergency services are working at the site where the drone debris fell.
Political Perspectives:

Center: Center-leaning sources report the facts of the drone attacks and air defense responses with a focus on military developments and security implications. They provide balanced coverage, noting the ongoing hostilities and the strategic importance of air defense in protecting Russian territory.
Right: Right-leaning media often emphasize the strength and effectiveness of Russian air defense systems, portraying the destruction of Ukrainian drones as a demonstration of Russia’s military prowess. They may frame the attacks as justified defensive actions against Ukrainian aggression.
