Russia says 38 Ukrainian drones intercepted in Crimea

According to reports, Russia has announced that it intercepted a total of 38 Ukrainian drones that were flying over the Crimea region. The drones were allegedly conducting surveillance operations in the area.

The incident has further escalated tensions between Russia and Ukraine, as the two countries have been at odds over the Crimea region for several years now. Ukraine considers Crimea to be part of its territory, while Russia annexed the region in 2014 following a controversial referendum.

Russian authorities have accused Ukraine of violating its airspace and conducting unauthorized surveillance operations in Crimea. The intercepted drones were reportedly carrying high-tech equipment for collecting intelligence.

Both countries have increased their military presence in the region, raising concerns of a potential military conflict. The international community has called for a peaceful resolution to the tensions between Russia and Ukraine.

It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold in Crimea, as both countries continue to assert their claims over the region.
