Russia\u2019s Ministry of Defence announced on Sunday that it intercepted and destroyed 51 Ukrainian drones in multiple regions, including areas near the border with Ukraine.<\/p>\n
The drones were reportedly shot down over several territories, with 18 intercepted in Tambov, around 400 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, and 16 near Belgorod, a border town, according to a statement posted by the ministry on Telegram.<\/p>\n
Additional interceptions were reported in the regions of Oryol, Bryansk, Lipetsk, and Voronezh.<\/p>\n
One drone was also downed in Kursk, an area where Ukrainian forces have been conducting a ground offensive since August, controlling parts of Russian territory.<\/p>\n
This marks another incident in a series of ongoing drone attacks that Moscow claims it intercepts almost daily.<\/p>\n
Kyiv asserts that such strikes on Russian territory are in response to Russia\u2019s repeated bombardments of Ukrainian infrastructure, including energy facilities.<\/p>\n
