Enemy drones were brought down by Russian anti-aircraft defense systems across various Russian territories, resulting in a total of 23 drones being destroyed.
In an escalation of ongoing drone warfare, Russian air defense systems reportedly shot down 23 Ukrainian aircraft-type drones over multiple regions of Russia last night, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The downed drones were reported over territories and waters spanning from western Russia, including Smolensk (7 drones), Bryansk (6), Oryol (3), Moscow (3), Kaluga (1), and Tver (1), to the southern regions of Tambov, Belgorod, Rostov, Kursk Oblasts, the Azov and Black Seas, Voronezh Oblast, Krasnodar Krai, and the Republic of Crimea.
The incidents coincide with a larger ongoing exchange involving drone attacks. On the same night, Russian forces launched 104 Shahed-type strike drones and various decoy drones toward northern and eastern Ukraine. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 76 of them, but 28 drones impacted 15 locations within Ukraine.
While the exact type of drones used in the Russian incident remains unspecified, the target regions demonstrate a significant Ukrainian drone strike capability aimed at Russian border areas. This incident is part of a continuing pattern where Ukrainian UAVs target Russian border regions, while Russia simultaneously launches large-scale drone attacks deep into Ukrainian territory.
No specific details about any potential damage or casualties caused by the downed drones were provided in the report. For more information, readers can subscribe to our news site or follow our updates via our Telegram channel.
