The key facts
- 13 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones were shot down in a day, according to the Ministry of Defense.
- The interception took place over the Tver, Vladimir, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions, Crimea, and the waters of the Azov Sea.
- Earlier, for the evening and night of November 3, 493 downed drones were reported.
Daytime interception over five regions
Over the past day, air defense systems shot down 13 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones, the Ministry of Defense reported. The ministry stated that the aircraft were intercepted and destroyed over the territories of the Tver, Vladimir, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions, the Republic of Crimea, and over the waters of the Azov Sea. However, the list itself names six directions, although the report speaks of five regions — the discrepancy remains on the part of the ministry's wording.
Night attack on Moscow: 493 drones
This report supplements the ministry's earlier account of overnight attacks: according to the Ministry of Defense, in the evening and night of November 3, air defense destroyed 493 dronesthat were flying toward Moscow and the Moscow region. Thus, the daytime interception of 13 drones became a continuation of the large-scale attack that the ministry had reported earlier the same day.
What is known and what is unknown
Both reports rely on Ministry of Defense summaries; the publications provide no independent data on casualties, damage, or the circumstances of the attack. Nor is the distribution of the downed drones among the regions specified.
