The Russian Defense Ministry says it intercepted five of the drones. The attack is the latest in a series of incursions by Russian forces into Ukraine.

The Russian military says it will continue to monitor the situation in the east of the country. The U.S. State Department says it is monitoring the situation closely in the eastern part of the Ukraine, where the Russian army is based. The Pentagon says it has no plans to send troops into the east to counter the Russian incursion into the Ukraine.
