Seven Ukrainian drones and seven drones were shot down over Russian Kursk during the night, according to information from the region's Russian governor Aleksej Smirnov on the messaging service Telegram.
"Our air defense repelled the Ukrainian forces' attack", writes Smirnov – after previously warning of a drone threat and urging his compatriots to take shelter in windowless rooms
Ukraine launched a ground offensive in Kursk in August. In recent weeks, Kyiv's control over areas in the Russian region has decreased, while Russian advances in Ukrainian Donetsk continue, according to a source within the Ukrainian military.
