Russian officials announced on Saturday that Ukrainian forces launched a significant drone attack overnight, targeting multiple regions across Russia.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported that air defense systems “intercepted and destroyed” a total of 75 drones over several regions bordering or near Ukraine, including Belgorod, Krasnodar, Kursk, Oryol, Rostov, Voronezh, and the deeper-lying Ryazan region. Additionally, one drone was shot down over the Azov Sea.
According to the ministry, 36 drones were destroyed over the Rostov region. However, Rostov Governor Vasily Golubev stated online that the region was attacked by a total of 55 drones. He did not specify how many were intercepted versus how many hit their targets but mentioned that “warehouse facilities” in the Morozovsk and Kamensky districts sustained damage in the attack.
