MOSCOW, July 17, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Russia said on Thursday that it had intercepted 126 Ukrainian drones in attacks that killed one person and left four civilians wounded.

Air defences shot down 122 drones overnight and four others early in the morning, most of them over regions in Russia's southwest that border Ukraine but also three over the Moscow region, the defence ministry said in a post on Telegram.

The strikes killed one woman and wounded a civilian man in the border region of Belgorod, its governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, wrote on Telegram.

In the border region of Voronezh, three teens were wounded when falling drone debris struck a building, regional governor Alexander Gusev wrote on Telegram.

On Wednesday, Russia fired hundreds of drones, artillery and a ballistic missile at Ukraine, defying US President Donald Trump's calls for Moscow to end the three-year conflict.

Trump on Monday called on Russia to reach a peace deal within 50 days or face severe sanctions.
