SIMFEROPOL, Russia (Sputnik) - Russian air defense took down a cruise missile in the eastern part of Crimea, the region's head Sergey Aksyonov said on Wednesday.
"Air defense took down a cruise missile in the eastern part of Crimea," Aksyonov said on Telegram.
Grass caught fire from the missile wreckage on the ground, and emergency teams are working at the incident site, Oleg Kryuchkov, an adviser to Crimean head, added.
The announcement came just as Alexander Bogomaz, who serves as the governor of the Bryansk region, revealed late Wednesday that two Ukrainian drones were shot down in the territory.
"The air defense forces of the Russian Defense Ministry prevented the attack of Ukrainian terrorists. Two unmanned aircraft-type aerial vehicles were shot down over the Bryansk Region," Bogomaz said on Telegram. "Operational and emergency services are working on the spot."
It has been detailed that there were no casualties or damage in Bryansk.
Within the hour, the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that the "terrorist attack" by Ukraine had been foiled in both Crimea and Bryansk.
"On August 30, an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack on objects on the territory of the Russian Federation was prevented. Two Ukrainian aircraft-type drones were destroyed by air defense on duty over the territory of the Bryansk Region," the ministry said, adding that another Ukrainian missile was destroyed over Crimea.

The latest round of thwarted attacks come after Ukraine attempted a massive drone attack on Russian territory overnight Wednesday, to which there were no casualties. The majority of foiled attacks focused on civilian infrastructure, a move that has repeatedly been used by Ukraine and more frequent in light of the stalled and much-touted Ukraine counteroffensive.
