(Reuters) -Russia said on Monday its air defence units destroyed 251 Ukrainian drones overnight, most of them over the southwest, with 61 over the waters of the Black Sea and one heading towards Moscow.
The Russian defence ministry posted the figures on the Telegram messaging app, but there was no official information on possible damage. The ministry reports only the number of drones destroyed, not how many Ukraine launches.
Ukrainian news channels on Telegram said a large fire was sparked by a hit on an oil depot in Feodosia on the Crimean coast of the Black Sea. A fuel tank at the depot exploded as a result of the attack, the RBK-Ukraine media outlet said.
Reuters could not independently verify the reports on Feodosia.
