Night attack: 142 drones shot down
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, on the night of November 6, air defense duty crews intercepted and destroyed 142 Ukrainian drones. The attacks affected nine regions and the waters of two seas at once. Targets were shot down over the Kursk, Belgorod, Oryol and Tula regions, the Moscow region, the Rostov and Astrakhan regions, as well as over Krasnodar Krai, Crimea and the waters of the Black and Azov seas (according to Life.ru).
Scale compared with the previous day
The figures for the two nights differ noticeably: the day before, on November 5, the Russian military reported 496 intercepted drones, when the attacks affected 15 territories of the country and the same waters of the two seas. Thus, according to official data, the number of drones shot down overnight fell roughly threefold, and the geography of the attacks narrowed from 15 territories to nine regions.
Consequences of the attack on the Ryazan region
Earlier, Life.ru reported serious consequences of the night attack on the Ryazan region. According to Governor Pavel Malkov, drone debris caused fires at industrial facilities, damaged residential buildings and power lines. Part of Ryazan was left without electricity, and classes were canceled at school No. 58 due to broken windows. One person was injured. The head of the region urged residents to limit movement around the city and not to approach found drone debris.
What remains unknown
All the cited data on the number of downed drones and the geography of interceptions come from the Russian Ministry of Defense and are not accompanied by independent verification in available publications. The report does not provide information on losses and damage on the Ukrainian side, nor details for each region.
