The number of Ukrainian drones shot down as they approached Moscow reached 131 on the night from Saturday to Sunday, according to a tally compiled by the Russian news agency TASS based on updates provided by the capital's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin.

The information was presented in the context of a drone air attack on the Moscow area. According to the cited reports, Russian air defense systems intercepted the aircraft before they reached the Russian capital. No complete details were provided regarding the exact timing of each interception, any damage, or the number of casualties.

The figure of 131 represents TASS's calculation, obtained by adding up the successive announcements published by Sergei Sobyanin throughout the night. The mayor of Moscow generally reports interceptions through messages distributed on official channels, without these data being independently confirmed in real time.

Russian authorities did not specify in this tally the exact origin of the drones or the full extent of the attack. The situation remains fluid, and the information may be updated as new official data are published.
