The Russian Defense Ministry has reported a significant increase in Ukrainian drone activity over various Russian regions, with a focus on the Krasnodar region.
Over the past few days, Russian air defenses have intercepted and destroyed a substantial number of Ukrainian drones. On the night of August 13-14, 44 drones were intercepted and destroyed over the Black Sea and surrounding regions, with four drones downed over Krasnodar Krai alone. Earlier, on the night of August 12-13, 46 drones were downed across multiple regions, including five over Krasnodar Krai.
As a result of these ongoing operations, the total number of Ukrainian drones claimed to have been shot down over Russian territory in August has reached 1,337, averaging over 121 drones per day. The drone strikes have targeted various regional infrastructures such as oil refineries and government offices, but no or limited casualties have been reported in Krasnodar and other areas.
The city of Anapa has also experienced air defense activity and subsequent airport restrictions. On August 13-14, four drones were intercepted over the region, and the city warning system was activated. Air defense activity also occurred in Anapa, and temporary restrictions were imposed on dispatching aircraft at Gelendzhik Airport. Rosaviatsiya, the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency, also imposed temporary restrictions on accepting aircraft at Gelendzhik Airport.
In addition to Anapa, air defense activity and drone interceptions have been reported in other Russian regions, including the Krasnodar region, where two drones were intercepted between 09:45 and 11:15 Moscow time. The Orel region has seen six drones intercepted, while the Kursk region has seen three. No specific reasons for the air defense activity in Anapa or the other regions have been provided.
It is important to note that no drones were intercepted in the Anapa or Gelendzhik regions, and no further details about the air defense activity or its impact have been provided. The ongoing escalation suggests continued intensification of Ukrainian long-range drone operations deep inside Russia during August 2025. However, no further information about the drones or their intended targets has been provided.
- The escalating drone activities over various Russian regions, including Krasnodar, are often reported in general news and politics, particularly in the context of war-and-conflicts.
- As Ukrainian drones continue to target regional infrastructures and airports in Russia, the ongoing war-and-conflicts between the two nations remains a significant topic in general news and politics.
