News of the Day: Mass Drone Attack and Trains to Dushanbe
Today's focus is on the large-scale work of air defense systems in repelling a mass drone attack and the resumption of international rail services. There is also a noted increase in trust in Russian medicine and the successes of military units in the Kharkiv direction.
Russian air defense systems destroyed 239 Ukrainian drones in a single night. The aircraft were shot down over several Russian regions and over maritime areas. Air defense refers to special military units and equipment designed to protect territory from aerial attacks.
Russian Railways (RZD) is resuming regular passenger train service between Moscow and Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan. The services were suspended several years ago due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The first train will depart from Dushanbe on June 21, and thereafter, the train will run once a week on Sundays.
The level of trust among Russians in the state healthcare system has reached an all-time high. Against the backdrop of this data, Health Minister Mikhail Murashko congratulated medical workers on their professional holiday, noting their readiness to be by their patients' side in difficult moments.
In the Kharkiv area, unmanned systems units of the "North" group destroyed more than 50 warehouses of the Ukrainian armed forces. Additionally, over the course of a week, drone operators disabled 10 electronic warfare (EW) stations—devices that use radio signals to interfere with the enemy's communication and navigation.
