Eighteen Ukrainian drones shot down in three Russian regions

Moscow, Aug 12 (Prensa Latina) Russian air defense systems shot down 18 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles over the Russian regions of Kursk, Belgorod, and Voronezh on Monday, the Defense Ministry informed.

Attempts by the Ukrainian military forces to carry out terrorist drone attacks on facilities on the territory of the Russian Federation were foiled on Monday, the military institution announced on its official Telegram channel.

According to the message, anti-aircraft defense systems destroyed 11 drones over the Kursk region, five over the Belgorod region, and two over Voronezh.

The Russian regions bordering Ukraine, such as Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, and Voronezh, and the Crimean peninsula regularly report missile strikes, drone incursions, and other attacks from across the border.

The province of Belgorod has been the hardest hit with several incursions by sabotage groups from Ukraine in recent months and continuous attacks on border communities using multiple rocket launchers, mortars, and drones.
