The key facts

  • 34 Ukrainian drones were downed in a day, including over the waters of the Sea of Azov
  • On the night of November 9, the Defense Ministry reported 430 destroyed drones

Defense Ministry report over 24 hours

Russia's Ministry of Defense reported that over the past day, air defense systems destroyed 34 Ukrainian drones over Russian regions and over the waters of the Sea of Azov. This was reported by Gazeta.Ru and Life.ru citing the ministry's press service.

List of regions

Life.ru cites the ministry's clarification listing the territories over which the drones were destroyed: the Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Volgograd, Oryol and Rostov regions, as well as the Republic of Crimea.

Nighttime attack

Earlier, the Defense Ministry reported on the work of anti-aircraft gunners on the night of November 9: according to the ministry, on that occasion 430 Ukrainian drones were destroyed. Thus, the figures for the night and for the day in the ministry's reports are not directly comparable — they relate to different reporting periods, and the ministry did not disclose how they relate to each other.
