According to its own data, Russian air defenses again repelled a Ukrainian drone over the southwestern border region of Bryansk during the night. This reports the German news website tagesschau.de.
The Defense Ministry in Moscow announced that the missile was destroyed. Alexander Bogomas, the governor of Bryansk Oblast, also confirmed via the Russian state news channel Tass that there was no damage or casualties. In recent weeks, Moscow has repeatedly reported similar drone strikes, calling them Ukrainian terrorist attacks. It is important to note, however, that these attacks are minor compared to Russia’s massive attacks in the more than 19-month-long war against Ukraine.
