Russia shoots down 117 Ukranian drones and four missiles

Moscow, Aug 14 (Prensa Latina) Russia's anti-aircraft defense systems shot down 117 Ukranian drones and four Tocka-U missiles on Wednesday, the Eurasian nation's Defense Ministry informed.

Ukrainian troops attempted a terrorist attack with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and Tocka-U tactical missiles against facilities in Russian territory, where anti-aircraft defense service destroyed the aerial targets, the military institution stated on its official Telegram channel.

The message specifies that 37 drones and four missiles were eliminated over the Kursk province, 37 UAVs over the Voronezh region, 17 in Belgorod, 11 in Nizhny Novgorod, and nine in Volgograd.

Likewise, three UAVs were shot down in the Bryansk region, two in the Orlovsk and one more in Rostov.

The Russian provinces bordering Ukraine, such as Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Voronezh, and the Republic of Crimea, regularly report shelling, drone strikes, and other attacks from across the border, which force local civilians to seek shelter elsewhere.
