The Russian Defence Ministry said it intercepted and destroyed 222 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones overnight into 27 October. This is the ministry’s national report, not a sum of governors’ reports; named regional and Black Sea components are not individually geolocated. The two 26 October intervals overlap by one hour and are not added together.
