During the night, an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out an attack on facilities on Russian soil with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles was thwarted, TASS reported citing Russia’s Defense Ministry.
"[Russian] air defense forces on duty destroyed four Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles over the Moscow, Tambov, Oryol, and Bryansk regions," the Russian defense agency added.
Earlier on Tuesday, the governor of central Russia’s Oryol Region, Andrey Klychkov, reported the downing of a Ukrainian drone in a northwestern area of the region.
Ukrainian troops resorted to drone warfare in the last several months after the loss of several strategic locations and the growing number of casualties.
Military experts stress that Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia pursue no meaningful military goal apart from boosting morale among Ukrainians.
