Enemy drones from Ukraine are reportedly destroyed in the Krasnodar Region.
In a significant development last night, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported the interception and destruction of 154 Ukrainian drone aircraft over various regions of Russia. The majority of these interceptions occurred on August 18, 2025, although the exact number and locations for August 9 are not explicitly detailed.
The interceptions took place across multiple regions and waters, including the Tambov region, Sea of Azov, Black Sea, Belgorod, Rostov, Kursk, Voronezh, Krasnodar, and Crimea. The specific numbers and locations on August 9 are not clearly detailed in the sources. However, it's worth noting that on August 18, 23 drones were intercepted in multiple Russian territories and waters[1], and earlier in the month, daily drone interceptions reached over 40 or more in other regions[5].
On August 18, the interceptions were particularly concentrated in the Kursk region, where 28 drones were shot down. Two drones were destroyed over the Rostov region, one over the Republic of Crimea, and one over the Moscow region. The Bryansk and Kaluga regions saw 13 drones intercepted, while eight drones were intercepted over the Oryol and Belgorod regions. Seven drones were destroyed over the Azov Sea, and five were destroyed in Krasnodar Krai.
Ten drones were intercepted over the Tula region, but no drones were intercepted or destroyed in the Voronezh, Smolensk, or Volgograd regions, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense. It's important to note that no civilian casualties or damages were reported as a result of these interceptions.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has not revealed the type or model of the Ukrainian drones that were intercepted and destroyed. The ongoing interceptions and attacks highlight the tense situation between Russia and Ukraine, with both countries reporting frequent incidents in recent months.
