Russian air defense systems shot down 22 missiles fired by Ukraine from the Vampire multiple launch rocket system at the Belgorod Region, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Sunday.
"On March 24, at about 05:50 pm Moscow time [14:50 GMT], the Kiev regime's attempt to carry out a terrorist attack using the RM-70 Vampire multiple launch rocket system against targets on Russian territory was foiled. Twenty-two missiles were destroyed over the Belgorod Region by the air defense forces on duty," the ministry said.
A day earlier, a drone attack in Chernyansky District, Belgorod Region, killed one civilian and injured two others.
Ukraine has been sending drones and missiles into the Russian territory almost daily since it launched a counteroffensive in early June. The UN said in August, following a botched drone strike on Moscow, that it did not want to see any targeting of civilian infrastructure.
