Russian air defense forces reported destroying 1,214 Ukrainian drones over Russian regions overnight on October 29, during the Russia-Africa summit held in Moscow on October 28-29. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the attacks underscore the need to continue the special military operation in Ukraine, calling the timing of the drone strikes during the international summit "strange."

Military expert Alexei Leonkov suggested the attack aimed to disrupt the summit's information environment, though no official data confirmed this.
