The military institution announced on its official Telegram channel that the Ukrainian airstrike with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) was not only massive, but also diverse, as it was directed against 11 Russian southwestern regions.

The release specifies that most devices were shot down over the Kursk and Oryol provinces, with 34 and 30 drones, respectively. In addition, 18 were intercepted in Lipetsk; seven in Kaluga; four in Rostov; the same number in the Sea of Azov; three in Tambov; three more in Moscow; two in Bryansk; one in Voronezh; and one in Tula.

Bryansk governor Aleksandr Bogomaz said one man died and another was injured in the village of Belaya Beriozka by a Ukrainian drone attack.

Sergey Sobyanin, Mayor of Moscow, reported that the capital’s air defense repelled the attack of three Ukrainian UAVs flying towards the city.

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