Large-scale drone attack: Moscow reports the interception of hundreds of vehicles
In an unusually large-scale report published on the morning of June 18, 2026, Russia announced that its forces succeeded in downing 555 Ukrainian UAVs overnight. The report was shared by Asaf Rozenzweig, World News and was concurrently covered on the 🎗️Israel News IL🎗️ channel.
According to the report by Asaf Rozenzweig, this involves an unprecedented number of unmanned aerial vehicles launched toward Russian targets. It should be noted that this figure comes directly from Moscow's official sources, which emphasize the interception capabilities of the Russian defense systems against the Ukrainian offensive effort.
While Russia is adopting a communication line that presents the thwarting of the attack as an operational success, the channels reporting on it have not, at this stage, detailed possible damages or the specific attack targets that Ukraine was aiming for. This is a significant development indicating an escalation in the aerial warfare between the two sides.
