Russian forces destroyed more than 100 Ukrainian drones attempting to target facilities in several regions overnight, the Defense Ministry in Moscow said on Sunday.

The military thwarted “an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack using an aircraft-type UAV against targets on the territory of the Russian Federation,” the ministry said.
Air defenses intercepted or destroyed 110 UAVs, 43 of which were taken down over the Kursk Region near the border, where fighting has been raging since early August.

Another 27 were destroyed over Lipetsk Region, 18 over Oryol Region, and eight over Nizhny Novgorod Region. Seven and six UAVs, respectively, were destroyed over the Belgorod and Bryansk Regions, and one was downed over Moscow Region.
Nizhny Novgorod Region Governor Gleb Nikitin said the local attack targeted an industrial zone outside region’s main city, located 800 km from the frontline. Citing preliminary data, he said four firefighters suffered minor shrapnel wounds.

Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said a Ukrainian drone, which was flying towards the Russian capital, was downed to the southeast of the city, but that no casualties or destruction have been reported. 
Ukraine routinely launches drone attacks deep into Russia, with raids targeting energy facilities and other civilian structures.
