Ukraine’s defense ministry said it has destroyed a total of 5,000 drones fired by Russia since the Kremlin’s invasion 19 months ago, including 30 of 40 fired from Crimea overnight at two southern regions — Mykolaiv and Odesa - and the central region of Vinnytsia. Romania investigated a potential breach of its territory from the barrage, with its army searching for drone debris around Galati, close to Ukraine’s Danube River port of Reni.
