Russian Defence Ministry Claims 125 Ukrainian Drones Downed, Residential Apartment Hit in Voronezh
The Russian defence ministry announced that it had shot down 125 Ukrainian drones overnight, with reports of a residential apartment being hit in the western city of Voronezh by the local governor.
Additionally, the governor of the Belgorod region reported that one man had died in Shebekino due to drone and shelling attacks, while eight civilians were injured in the wider region.
As Russia pushes further into eastern Ukraine, Kyiv retaliates with cross-border attacks into the Kursk region and drone strikes deep into Russian territory.
The recent attacks focused on the southern Volgograd region, resulting in the downing of 67 drones. Furthermore, 17 drones were intercepted in both the Belgorod and Voronezh regions, with 18 drones shot down in the Rostov region.
Alexander Gusev, the governor of Voronezh, reported that a falling drone caused a fire in a residential complex, which has since been contained with no injuries reported.
While a video circulating on the Mash Telegram channel purportedly shows a blaze in a high-rise building in Voronezh, Reuters has not yet verified the footage.
