MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Last week, Russian air defenses destroyed 15 Ukrainian drones over six regions, according to the Defense Ministry. Earlier this month, six civilians got injured as a result of Ukrainian shelling of the town of Shebekino in Russia's Belgorod Region.
Russian air defense systems destroyed seven Ukrainian drones over three Russian regions, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.

“During the past night, an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack using aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles on facilities on the territory of the Russian Federation was stopped. Air defense systems on duty destroyed four UAVs over the Tver Region, two UAVs over the Moscow Region, and one UAV over the Belgorod Region,” the ministry said.

The Belgorod region, bordering the Sumy and Kharkov regions of Ukraine, receives the largest number of attacks, repeatedly being attacked by the Ukrainian military.
Ukraine has been frequently sending drones and missiles into Russian territory since it launched a counteroffensive in early June of last year. The UN said last August, following a botched drone strike on Moscow, that it did not want to see any targeting of civilian infrastructure.
