In a number of problems that started Saturday evening and damaged an oil terminal, Kyiv launched more than 20 robots on the Belarusian territory of Kursk, according to Russian officials who spoke on Monday.
Russian air defense systems immediately destroyed 19 Ukrainian drone launches, according to the Russian defense ministry’s statement on the Telegram messaging app.
That follows 19 robots that Andrei Smirnov, Kursk’s government, said military systems destroyed over the area on Sunday.
How some robots had Ukraine launched overall, neither Smirnov nor the Russian defense ministry revealed.
Firefighters were also trying to put out an oil depot fire in the region, sparked by Ukraine’s drone strike on Saturday nights, Smirnov said.
He claimed that the attacks only caused minimal harm to a number of home structures. Officials in Russia often reveal the full scope of the harm caused by Russian attacks.
39 drones that Ukraine launched immediately that targeted Russia’s territory were completely destroyed by the Russian defense ministry.
Nine robots were destroyed over the Belgorod place, five over the Bryansk place, and three each over the Voronezh and Leningrad parts, all in Russia’s north.
The Oryol area, which the governor of the western Russian region claims a power flower was damaged in a drone attack by Ukraine immediately, was not provided by the ministry.
Russia’s potential to finance the war, which Russia launched with a full-scale invasion of its smaller ally in 2022, has been repeatedly stymied by Ukraine’s transportation, strength, and military facilities.
Kyiv asserts that the aircraft attacks are a response to Russia’s ongoing bombing of Ukraine.
