Russia says shot down over 400 Ukrainian drones, baby killed outside Moscow

MOSCOW, Jun 30: Russia on Tuesday said it shot down 419 Ukrainian drones over the country overnight, including in the Moscow region, where authorities said a six-month-old baby was killed.

Kyiv has stepped up its long-range drone strike campaign against Russia in recent months, as Moscow's full-scale offensive against Ukraine drags on for almost four-and-a-half years years.

Ukrainian President VolodymyrZelensky said his forces struck a satellite communications site in the Moscow region for the second time in a week.
