The military institution announced on its official Telegram channel that four unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were shot down over the Rostov region, and the remaining three were shot down in the Oryol, Kaluga, and Bryansk provinces.

The Defense Ministry did not report any casualties or material damage caused by the downed drones.

Since the beginning of the special military operation on February 24, 2022, drone attacks launched from Ukraine on military and civilian targets in the Russian rear have become routine.

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.
