Defense Ministry reported eight destroyed UAVs over Russian regions
Air defense means eliminated eight Ukrainian drones overnight over Russian territory, the Russian Defense Ministry said on January 22.
"During the past night, on-duty air defense means destroyed eight Ukrainian drones: six UAVs - over the territory of Rostov region and one each - over the territories of Kursk and Voronezh regions," the ministry's Telegram channel said.
Shortly before that, Yuri Slyusar, acting governor, reported about the fallen UAV debris near a kindergarten in the Rostov region. There were no casualties. In total during the night air defense forces destroyed 15 UAVs over the region.
The AFU is trying to strike Russian territories against the background of the special operation in Donbass, the start of which was announced on February 24, 2022. The decision was taken due to the aggravation of the situation in the region due to shelling by the Ukrainian military.
