The Russian military has thwarted an attempted Ukrainian “terrorist attack,” with the Defense Ministry saying it downed three Ukrainian drones as they traveled over Kaluga Region on Wednesday morning.
The incoming UAVs were detected and destroyed by the air defense units around 5am local time, the Ministry of Defense said in a brief statement on Wednesday morning. There were no casualties or damage from the latest attempted air raid by Kiev, according to the region’s governor, Vladislav Shapsha.
Kaluga region is located southwest of Moscow, where in the past months the military had on several occasions intercepted hostile drones en route to the Russian capital.
Russian officials claim that Kiev is increasingly using terrorist tactics, after failing to produce battlefield successes during its much-lauded summer counteroffensive. On Sunday, a Ukrainian UAV struck an apartment block in the Russian city of Belgorod, leaving a ten-year-old girl injured.
Besides repeated artillery and drone attacks, Russian regions bordering Ukraine have been the target of several ground incursions amid the conflict between Moscow and Kiev, resulting in numerous civilian deaths and the destruction of buildings. On Tuesday, Russian security forces thwarted an attempt by a Ukrainian saboteur group to attack Bryansk Region, in which one agricultural worker had been wounded.
