Since 8 p.m. local time on Tuesday, Russian defenses repelled unmanned aerial vehicles over 13 regions as well as Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula the Kremlin seized in 2014, the Defense Ministry in Moscow said Thursday on its Telegram channel. That included 63 over the capital region. No injuries have been reported.
