According to the Telegram channel of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Russian forces shot down 31 Ukrainian drones over the areas of Belgorod, Bryansk, and Kursk during the night.
Vyacheslav Gladkov, the governor of the Belgorod region, reported that three flying objects were shot down over the Grayvoronsky district, resulting in damage to civilian infrastructure. No injuries were reported, as stated by the German news website n-tv.de.
These reports come from one party involved in the conflict and have not been independently verified and/or confirmed. Therefore, they should be regarded with caution. In times of war, it can be advantageous for parties in the conflict to deliberately spread misinformation to strengthen their own position or weaken that of the opponent.
