A total of 389 Ukrainian drones have been shot down by air defenses over Russian territory overnight, the Defense Ministry in Moscow reported on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Incoming UAVs were intercepted and destroyed across 14 regions in the western part of the country, as well as Crimea.<\/p>\n

Moscow<\/a>, which has been the focus of the majority of Ukrainian drone incursions in recent months, was largely untargeted this time, with Mayor Sergey Sobyanin reporting just one interception.<\/p>\n

However, an unusually large number of UAVs were shot down in Leningrad Region, surrounding Russia\u2019s second largest city, St Petersburg. Governor Aleksandr Drozdenko said at least 56 drones were destroyed.<\/p>\n

The raid resulted in a blaze in the port area of Ust-Luga, Drozdenko wrote on Telegram. The roof of a residential building was also been damaged in the city of Vyborg, he added.<\/p>\n

There were no injuries among civilians in the region, according to the governor.<\/p>\n

St. Petersburg\u2019s Pulkovo Airport was also forced to temporarily halt flights due to the drone incursions.<\/p>\n

In Bryansk Region, which borders Ukraine, the number of intercepted UAVs reached 113, Governor Aleksandr Bogomaz said.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian drone raids on Russia have intensified since mid-March, with Kiev deploying hundreds of fixed-wing UAVs on a daily basis, targeting critical infrastructure, manufacturing facilities, and residential areas.<\/p>\n

Russian have officials described the aerial incursions as desperate \u201cterrorist attacks\u201d<\/em> meant to compensate for the setbacks Kiev\u2019s military has been suffering on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

Moscow has retaliated with a long-range strike campaign of its own, targeting dual-use infrastructure, including power grid facilities and military sites in Ukraine with missiles and drones. Russia maintains that it never targets purely civilian sites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
