Russian Air Defenses Destroy Over 30 Ukrainian Drones in Massive Night Raid
Russian air defenses intercepted over 30 Ukrainian drones in a large-scale overnight attack across several regions, including Rostov, Bryansk, and Moscow areas.
Russia’s Ministry of Defense announced that its air defense systems had successfully intercepted a new wave of Ukrainian drone attacks targeting multiple regions of the country.
According to the ministry, from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Moscow time on the night of November 11–12, Russian air defenses detected and destroyed twenty-two Ukrainian fixed-wing drones. The largest concentration of targets-eight UAVs-was shot down over the Rostov region. Four were eliminated above Stavropol, three each over the Oryol and Bryansk regions, two over Tula, and one drone was intercepted over the Kaluga and Moscow regions.
Earlier that evening, between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m., air defense units neutralized nine additional drones of the same type. Four were downed over the Rostov region, three over Bryansk, and one each over the Kursk and Oryol regions.
The ministry emphasized that all attacks had been thwarted and no damage or casualties were reported. The operation marks yet another large-scale overnight attempt by Ukrainian forces to strike deep into Russian territory using unmanned aircraft.
