“Four Ukrainian drones have been neutralized by the Donbass Dome airspace defense and electronic warfare system in the skies over the Donetsk People’s Republic over the past 24 hours”
SINGLE SOURCE
While web search results confirm the existence and general operation of the 'Donbass Dome' system (TASS) and mention drone neutralization, the specific number 'four' for a 24-hour period is not corroborated by the provided evidence. One source mentions 50 UAVs in 24 hours, which contradicts the specific count of four, suggesting the claim comes from a specific report not mirrored by other independent sources in the provided set.
