Russian air defenses successfully intercepted and shot down five Ukrainian drones that violated Russian territory, the Defense Ministry confirmed.
The drones were taken down over the Bryansk and Smolensk regions as well as the Sea of Azov. This incident comes after Russian forces destroyed 120 boats and UAVs launched by Kiev towards Crimea and western regions of Russia.
The ongoing targeting of border areas in southwest Russia by Ukrainian forces has prompted President Vladimir Putin to call for an expansion of military operations to push back the Ukrainian forces. The use of long-range missiles by Ukraine in attempted strikes against Russia has raised concerns.
