Claim 1: “the Russian Defence Ministry said 264 Ukrainian drones had been downed in the early hours of Friday.”
SINGLE SOURCE
One web search result explicitly states that Russian Air Defense shot down 264 Ukrainian drones overnight on 2026-05-08. However, other search results mention different numbers (e.g., 16 drones) or different contexts, and no other independent source corroborates the specific number of 264.
