The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that 40 Ukrainian drones had been destroyed over the Saratov, Rostov, Bryansk, Volgograd and Belgorod regions. The Russian aviation authority Rosaviatsiya stated that, for security reasons, no take-offs and landings were temporarily permitted at the airports in Kazan, Kirov, Saratov and Ulyanovsk.
Ukraine has been defending itself against the large-scale Russian invasion with Western help for almost three years. As part of its defense campaign, it has repeatedly attacked targets on Russian territory in order to disrupt supply routes for the Russian army.
