Air defense downs 26 Ukrainian drones in three Russian regions

Moscow, May 5 (Prensa Latina) The air defense systems on duty shot down 26 Ukrainian attack drones that targeted three Russian southwestern regions, the Defense Ministry informed on Monday.

The military institution announced on its official Telegram channel that 17 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were shot down over Bryansk Oblast, five over Kaluga Oblast, and four over the Moscow region.

Sergey Sobyanin, Mayor of Moscow, stated that the air defense systems repelled an attack of four drones and shot them down in the Podolsk urban district as they were flying towards the capital.

The Russian territories 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.
