The military institution reported on its official Telegram channel that the on-duty air defense units intercepted five unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) over the Belgorod region, two in the Kursk region, and two over the Black Sea waters.
The Defense Ministry, which described the attacks as terrorist, reported no casualties or material damage from the drone shoot-down, and stated that it was the smallest in the last 10 days.
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, forcing the population to seek shelter elsewhere.
