(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Russia and Ukraine exchanged statements on Wednesday regarding the interception of drones, as hostilities between the two countries continue.

The Russian Ministry of Defense said that its air defense systems had intercepted 53 Ukrainian drones overnight across several provinces.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian authorities reported, based on preliminary data, that air defense forces had shot down 154 drones over northern, southern, eastern, and central Ukraine.
