Russian air defenses intercepted and destroyed 155 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones during a large-scale overnight attack on November 10. The UAVs were shot down across nine regions, according to Russia’s Defense Ministry.

The ministry identified Novgorod, Bryansk, Belgorod, Kursk, Kaluga, Oryol and Smolensk regions among the areas targeted. Russian air-defense units also engaged Ukrainian drones over Krasnodar Krai and the Republic of Crimea.

The overnight raid followed another wave of Ukrainian drone attacks on November 9. Between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Moscow time, Russian forces destroyed 34 UAVs over Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Volgograd, Oryol and Rostov regions, as well as Crimea and the Sea of Azov.

The deadliest consequences were reported in the Belgorod region, where Ukrainian forces carried out 177 attacks over the previous 24 hours. Regional Governor Alexander Shuvaev said Ukrainian troops launched eight artillery strikes and used drones to drop explosive devices on 13 occasions. Russian air-defense crews and other military units managed to shoot down or neutralize 121 UAVs.

Three civilians were killed in Ukrainian strikes on the Borisovsky and Grayvoronsky districts. A fourth man died in hospital after suffering severe injuries during an attack on the Shebekinsky district on September 17. Shuvaev expressed condolences to the victims' families, saying the entire region shared their grief.

Another eight people were wounded in the Borisovsky, Krasnoyaruzhsky, Rakitnyansky and Shebekinsky districts. Three remained hospitalized and were receiving medical treatment.

The neighboring Kursk region also came under repeated Ukrainian attacks. Governor Alexander Khinshtein reported that Russian forces had destroyed 169 drones of various types between 9:00 a.m. on November 9 and 9:00 a.m. on November 10.

During the same period, Ukrainian forces shelled evacuated areas of the region 14 times and carried out another 14 attacks involving explosive devices dropped from drones.

One of the strikes wounded a 61-year-old man in the village of Zaoleshenka in the Sudzhansky district.

Ukrainian forces also struck an energy facility in the Khomutovsky district, damaging infrastructure and cutting electricity supplies to 42 settlements. More than 4,000 consumers were left without power. Khinshtein said repair crews would begin restoring electricity as soon as the security situation allowed them to work.

Meanwhile, Bryansk region Governor Yegor Kovalchuk reported that Russian air defenses had destroyed 37 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones over the region during the previous 24 hours.
