Moscow - Saba:
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on Wednesday that its air defense systems shot down five Ukrainian drones over three regions last night.
Sputnik quoted the ministry as saying in a statement: "Last night, air defenses on duty destroyed five Ukrainian drones."
It explained that "two drones were destroyed over each of the Kursk and Rostov regions, and one drone over Crimea."
The Ukrainian Armed Forces target the Russian border regions in Crimea and the Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, and Voronezh regions almost daily with drones and missiles.
For their part, the Russian forces respond by targeting exclusively Ukrainian military infrastructure, as well as facilities of the military-industrial complex, everything related to the storage, repair, or manufacture of military equipment, and centers for the concentration of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel and foreign mercenaries, with the aim of protecting the population of Donbas.
