Russia intercepts 95 Ukrainian drones in four hours as Ukraine strikes Caspian warship

Friday, 8 May 2026, 07:21 · 1 min read

Russia's Defence Ministry announced it intercepted 95 Ukrainian drones within a four-hour window over central and southern Russia, while Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin separately confirmed that more than 50 drones targeting the capital were shot down over roughly 15 hours. In a parallel development, Ukraine's military said it struck a Karakurt-class corvette — a warship capable of launching Kalibr cruise missiles — docked in Kaspiysk, a port city in Russia's Dagestan region on the Caspian Sea, though the extent of the damage remains unclear. The attacks come as Russia announced a three-day ceasefire from midnight on 8 May to mark the anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two, a move that underscores the continuing intensity of the conflict even amid declared pauses.
