According to the recent data from Russia's Ministry of Defense, 59 drones were dodged over Crimea, 11 each flicked away in the Black Sea waters, four in Belgorod, two in Kursk, and two in Nizhny Novgorod. Additionally, a couple of drones met their end over Ivanovo region, with two neutralized over Moscow's area.

The governors of Voronezh, Bryansk, and Nizhny Novgorod reported no causalities or damages within their regions. However, a drone attack in Belgorod's Pristen' village left a civilian injured, with barotrauma and multiple shrapnel wounds in his shoulder and forearm. The individual was taken to the Valuyki Central District Hospital for immediate care.

During the night and early hours, the "Zhukovsky" Moscow airport, along with civilian airports in Kaluga, Nizhny Novgorod, Ulyanovsk, and Kazan, suspended operations to ensure the security of civilian aircraft. All the airports resumed normal operations shortly thereafter.
