Russian air defense downs 23 Ukrainian drones

Moscow, Jun 23 (Prensa Latina) The operational air defense systems intercepted and shot down 23 Ukrainian attack drones that targeted three Russian southwestern regions, the Defense Ministry reported on Monday.

The military institution announced on its official Telegram channel that 14 of the unmanned aerial vehicles were shot down over the Rostov Region, five over the Volgograd Region, and four over the Astrakhan Region.

Rostov Governor Yury Slyusar, in turn, informed that the debris from the downed Ukrainian drones caused a fire at an industrial enterprise in the Kamensky district, where fortunately, the plant’s workers were unharmed.

Meanwhile, the national air transport agency, Rosaviatsia, informed that temporary operating restrictions have been imposed again at Volgograd airport to ensure the safety of civil aircraft 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.
