The military institution announced on its official Telegram channel that more than 43 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were shot down over the Bryansk region; 22 others over the Rostov region; six over the Kaluga region; two over the Smolensk region; and one over the Leningrad region.

The Defense Ministry also stated that despite the number of destroyed devices, no casualties or significant damage were reported in any of the regions attacked by Ukraine.

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.
