Moscow (Eurotoday) – Russian authorities reported that their air defense units destroyed 88 Ukrainian drones overnight, with no damage or injuries recorded.
The Russian defense ministry stated that 52 of the drones were shot down over the border,
specifically in the Belgorod area, while 13 were intercepted over the Lipetsk region and nine over Rostov, both in southwestern Russia.
Additional drones were downed over Russia’s Voronezh, Krasnodar, Ryazan, Astrakhan, and Kursk regions. The governors of Ryazan and Lipetsk acknowledged overnight air raid warnings but reported no damage or casualties.
Russia’s aviation authority, Rosaviatsia, stated that the airports in Nizhny Novgorod, Astrakhan, and Kazan were temporarily closed for several hours overnight to ensure air safety.
Unofficial Russian news Telegram channels suggested that the Ukrainian attack on Ryazan and Lipetsk targeted local oil refineries.
Ukrainian Lieutenant Andriy Kovalenko claimed—without providing evidence or confirming direct Ukrainian involvement—that the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant in Lipetsk had been targeted. He heads the Center for Countering Disinformation, a division of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council.
How are Ukrainian drone strikes impacting Russia’s war efforts?
Ukraine has intensified its attacks in the ongoing war, focusing on disrupting infrastructure critical to Moscow’s military operations. These strikes come in response to Russia’s continued bombardment of Ukraine.
Recently, Russian military operations have become “significantly” more challenging due to Ukraine’s increasing use of long-range drone strikes on Russian ammunition depots, fuel refineries, and weapon stockpiles, according to a senior Ukrainian commander.
Russian Brigadier General Yuriy Shchygol suggested that these attacks would only increase, stating that Ukraine plans to more than quadruple its production of deep-strike drones—capable of reaching hundreds of miles—to over 2,000 units per month.
