Russian air defenses destroyed 73 Ukrainian drones overnight, including three heading for Moscow, Russia's defence ministry said on Friday.

Ukraine’s capacity to strike Russia’s major cities has come under the spotlight since President Trump asked if Kyiv could do so.

Drones attacked nine Russian regions on the night of 17-18 July, including Moscow, Bryansk, Oryol and Nizhny Novgorod oblasts, with flight restrictions imposed at airports. Source: Astra and other Telegram channels;
