MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russian air defence forces shot down or intercepted 216 Ukrainian drones overnight, the Defence Ministry said on Friday.

The ministry said it had brought down 66 drones over Russia's southern Krasnodar region, where officials earlier said an oil depot and port had been targeted.

The governor of Russia's Saratov region said that drone attacks had damaged civilian infrastructure, while the head of the Volgograd region said that air defences had repelled an overnight drone attack on energy infrastructure.
