The military institution announced on its official Telegram channel that some 43 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were shot down over the Black Sea, 21 over the Crimean Peninsula, and one over the Belgorod Oblast.
The Russian provinces bordering Ukraine, such as Belgorod, Bryansk, and Kursk, regularly report shelling, drone strikes, and other attacks from across the border, forcing the population to seek shelter elsewhere.
The Republic of Crimea, which seceded from Ukraine to rejoin Russia in 2014, has also been a favorite target for attacks and sabotage attempts by the Ukrainian Army since Russia began its special military operation.
