Air defense downs 49 Ukrainian drones in seven Russian regions

Moscow, Jun 9 (Prensa Latina) The air defense systems shot down 49 Ukrainian attack drones that targeted the country's seven regions in the last day, the Russian Defense Ministry informed on Monday.

The military institution announced on its official Telegram channel that 13 of the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were shot down over Kursk Oblast; the same number over Nizhny Novgorod Oblast; nine over Voronezh; nine more over Oryol; two over Bryansk; others over the Republic of Chuvash; and one over Belgorod.

The Defense Ministry stated that the attacks this time also went beyond the territories bordering Ukraine, and reached slightly more distant regions such as Nizhni Novgorod and the Chuvash Republic.

Oleg Nikolaev, head of the Chuvash Republic, reported that two drones fell on the premises of the Vniir company, causing no casualties.

The Russian air transport agency, Rosaviatsia, reported that temporary restrictions have been imposed at the airports of Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Saratov, and Tambov, due to security reasons.

The Russian provinces bordering Ukraine, such as Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Voronezh, and the Peninsula of Crimea, regularly report shelling, drone strikes, and other attacks from across the border, forcing the population to seek shelter elsewhere.
