Russian air defenses shoot down six Ukrainian drones in the heart of the country

Russian air defenses shot down six Ukrainian fixed-wing drones today in the center of the country, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The Russian army shot down four aircraft-type drones in the Orlov region, whose eponymous capital is located about 800 kilometers from the Russian capital.

In turn, the anti-aircraft batteries managed to destroy two unmanned devices in the territory of the Tula region, one of the centers of the national military industry.

Defense described these attempts in a statement as "terrorist attacks", the terminology used by Moscow when kyiv aims against a target on national territory.

According to the Ukrainian Army, Moscow attacked the Dnipropetrovsk region this morning with four Iskander cruise missiles.
