WNAM REPORT: Russian air defense systems destroyed 12 Ukrainian drones over Crimea, six over the Kursk region, and one each over the Belgorod, Bryansk, and Voronezh regions last night, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.
“During the past night, attempts by the Kiev regime to carry out terrorist attacks using fixed-wing UAVs against targets on the territory of the Russian Federation were thwarted,” Sputnik reported, citing the Russian Defense Ministry.
“Air defense systems on duty destroyed 21 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles”, the ministry added.
“Twelve UAVs were shot down over the territory of the Republic of Crimea, six UAVs were destroyed over the Kursk Region, and one UAV each over the territories of the Belgorod, Bryansk, and Voronezh regions,” the ministry further noted.
Ukraine has been sending drones and missiles into Russia almost daily since it launched its counteroffensive in early June 2023. The United Nations said in August last year, following a botched drone strike on Moscow, that it did not want to see any targeting of civilian infrastructure.
