Air defence system downs drone in Voronezh - Russian governor

Russia's Voronezh region governor Alexander Gusev has said that an air defence system detected and shot down a drone in the sky over the region in the early hours of May 4.

"There are no victims and no destruction. Nothing threatens the life and health of the region's residents. The situation is under my personal control," Gusev wrote on his Telegram channel.

On January 2, a reconnaissance drone reportedly launched from Ukrainian territory was shot down as it approached Voronezh. No casualties or damages were reported. On January 20, the region imposed a ban on civilian drone flights.
