Russian air defense systems shot down 17 Ukrainian drones over different areas of Russian territory. Russian Defense Ministry said, in a statement, that nine drones were destroyed over Bryansk region, three over the Kursk region, two over the Belgorod region, and three over the Kaluga region. In recent months, Ukraine has intensified the frequency of attacks using drones on Russian regions. Clashes are still continuing between Russian and Ukrainian forces without achieving any political breakthrough to end this military operation that began two years ago. Source: Qatar News Agency
