Russian officials reported Monday that Ukraine used 30 drones in overnight attacks on two areas near the border between the two countries.
Russia’s defense ministry said it shot down 29 drones over the Belgorod region and one more over Voronezh.
Vyacheslav Gladkov, the regional governor of Belgorod, said falling debris from downed drones injured several people and damaged buildings.
Belgorod is a frequent target for Ukrainian aerial attacks with its location just across the border and proximity to Ukraine’s Kharkiv region where Russian forces have gained ground in an offensive in recent months.
In Voronezh, Governor Aleksandr Gusev reported a fire at an industrial site caused by a downed drone. Gusev said there were no injuries.
