"During the past night, an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack using fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles against targets on the territory of the Russian Federation was prevented. Air defense destroyed 15 drones over the Kursk Region, nine drones over the Lipetsk Region, four drones both over the Voronezh and Bryansk Regions, and two drones both over the Oryol and Belgorod Regions," the ministry said in a statement.
Commenting on deliberate drone attacks on civilian infrastructure, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stressed that war crimes became a trademark of Zelensky regime, while other Russian officials underscored that such attempts are acts of pure terrorism.
