MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Since the start of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine in February 2022, Russian regions have been repeatedly targeted by Ukrainian drone attacks.
Russian air defenses destroyed 11 Ukrainian drones over the Volgograd Region and one over the Belgorod Region at night, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.

"During the night, attempts by the Kiev regime to carry out terrorist attacks using aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles against targets on the territory of the Russian Federation were stopped. Air defense systems on duty destroyed a Ukrainian UAV over the territory of the Belgorod Region. Eleven UAVs were destroyed over the Volgograd Region," the ministry said.
