Russian air defence units destroyed
dozens of Ukrainian drones over widely separated regions of
Russia on Tuesday, including more than 40 over Voronezh region
on the Ukrainian border, officials said.
Voronezh regional Governor Alexander Gusev, writing on
Telegram, said there were no injuries and more than 40 drones
were destroyed over urban areas and near the border.
The governor of Ulyanovsk region on the Volga River said
eight drones had been repelled without any casualties.
Russia’s Defence Ministry said 22 drones had been destroyed
over nearly four hours.
It noted 13 drones downed over Voronezh and others over
Saratov and Samara regions and Tatarstan, all along the Volga,
as well as in Belgorod Region on the Ukrainian border.
Reuters could not independently verify the attacks.
Ukraine has beefed up its capacity of drone construction and
strikes since the start of the 40-month-old war against Russia.
In an attack earlier this month, dubbed “Operation Spider’s
Web”, it targeted Russian long-range bombers at air bases.
