Russia’s air defense systems destroyed 36 drones that Ukraine launched overnight targeting several regions in Russia’s southwest, the Russian defense ministry said on Sunday.
Drones Downed over Multiple Regions
15 drones were destroyed over the Kursk region that borders Ukraine

4 drones were destroyed each over the Voronezh and Bryansk regions in southwestern Russia
2 drones were destroyed each over the nearby Oryol and Belgorod regions
Minimal Damage Reported
The governors of the Lipetsk and Bryansk regions said on their Telegram channels that there were no injuries or extensive damage as a result of the attacks. However, Russian officials often do not disclose the full extent of damage inflicted by Ukrainian attacks.
Kyiv has said attacks on Russia’s military, transport and energy infrastructure are in response to Moscow’s attacks on Ukraine’s territory since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
