The military institution announced on its official Telegram channel that air defense systems neutralized and shot down nine Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over Bryansk province, one over Smolensk province, and another over the Peninsula of Crimea.

The Defense Ministry added that there were no casualties or material damage due to the attacks, and none of the country’s airports had to suspend their flights.

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.
