The Russian Defence Ministry announced today that it successfully downed 31 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) launched from Kyiv overnight.<\/p>\n
The drones were intercepted over the regions of Belgorod, Bryansk, and Kursk, all bordering Ukraine. The operation was revealed in a statement released on Telegram by the Russian defence ministry early this morning.<\/p>\n
The statement read, “On the night of October 4, attempts by the Kyiv regime to carry out terrorist attacks on targets on the territory of the Russian Federation were stopped. Air defence systems on duty over the territory of the Belgorod, Bryansk, and Kursk regions intercepted and destroyed 31 Ukrainian aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles.”<\/p>\n
