Russia-Ukraine war live: Russia and Ukraine both report thwarting drone strikes; Zelenskiy calls for more air defences
Briefly

Russia's defence ministry says it had thwarted a major Ukrainian drone attack with at least 20 drones shot down over Russian regions, including Moscow. Officials said the drones were shot down over regions including Moscow, Tula, Kaluga and Bryansk. One person was injured in Tula when an intercepted drone hit an apartment building, the region's governor Alexei Dyumin said. Ukraine's air force says it destroyed eight of nine attack drones launched overnight by Russia.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy says his country needs more air defences to protect its grain export routes as well as regions bordering Russia. There is a deficit of air defence that is no secret, Zelenskiy said at the Grain from Ukraine summit on food security in Kyiv, which was attended by senior officials from European countries, including Swiss president Alain Berset and Lithuanian prime minister Ingrida Simonyte.
