Russian air defense shoot down 18 Ukrainian drones

TEHRAN, Oct. 21 (MNA) – Russian air defense alert systems intercepted and destroyed 18 Ukrainian drones over Russian regions last night, most of them over the Rostov region, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

"During the past night, an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack using a fixed-wing drone against targets on the territory of the Russian Federation was thwarted, " Sputnik reported, citing the Russian Defense Ministry on Monday.

"Air defense alert systems intercepted and destroyed 18 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles," the report added.

It is specified that 11 of them were shot down over the Rostov region, four more over the Bryansk region, two over the Kursk region, and one over the Oryol region.

Russian officials repeatedly slammed Ukrainian drone attacks as acts of terrorism. For instance, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, said that the targeted shellings of civilians have become a trademark of Volodymyr Zelensky.
