Fifty drones were shot down by air defences over eight Russian regions, officials said.
Ukraine has launched a barrage of drones across Russia overnight, the Defence Ministry in Moscow said on Saturday, in attacks that appeared to target the country’s energy infrastructure.
Drones were also reportedly destroyed over the Bryansk, Kursk, Tula, Smolensk, Ryazan, Kaluga regions across Russia’s west and south, as well as in the Moscow region. The head of the Kaluga region, Vladislav Shapsha, said a drone strike had sparked a blaze at an electrical substation, while Bryansk governor Alexander Bogomaz and Smolensk governor Vasily Anokhin also reported fires at fuel and energy complexes.
Ukrainian drone developers have been extending the weapons’ range for months, as Kyiv attempts to compensate for its battlefield disadvantage in weapons and troops. The unmanned aerial vehicles are also an affordable option while Ukraine waits for more US military aid.
