Five Ukrainian aircraft-type drones were intercepted by Russian air defenses over Crimea, and one above the Black Sea on Thursday, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
"In the morning of November 2, an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack using six aircraft-type UAVs on facilities on the territory of the Russian Federation was stopped. Air defense systems on duty destroyed one Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle over the Black Sea, five were intercepted over the territory of the Republic of Crimea," the ministry said.
Ukraine has been trying to launch drone attacks on the Russian territory almost every day since the beginning of its counteroffensive in early June. The UN has condemned the attacks, saying it did not want to see any targeting of civilian infrastructure.
