MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Ukraine has been sending drones into the Russian territory almost daily since it launched a counteroffensive in early June. The United Nations said in August, following a botched drone strike on Moscow, that it did not want to see any targeting of civilian infrastructure.
Russian air defense systems destroyed four Ukrainian drones over the Black Sea and the territory of Crimea, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday.
"On the night of September 25, 2023, an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out terrorist attacks using fixed-wing drones against targets on the territory of the Russian Federation was prevented. Air defense systems destroyed four unmanned aerial vehicles over the northwestern part of the Black Sea and over the territory of the Republic of Crimea," the ministry said.
Earlier in the day, Governor of the Russia's Bryansk Region Alexander Bogomaz announced that two Ukrainian drones were shot down at night over the Surazh district of the Bryansk Region.
"Tonight, Ukrainian terrorists attempted to carry out a terrorist attack using drones. The forces of the Russian Defense Ministry shot down two fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles over the Surazh district. There were no injuries or damage," Bogomaz said on Telegram.
At the same time, Kursk Region Governor Roman Starovoit said that in the central district of Kursk, several private households and the roof of an administrative building were damaged due to a Ukrainian drone attack. Another drone fell near the city of Kursk, the governor wrote on Telegram, adding that no one was injured as a result of the attacks.
