A total of 37 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were intercepted and destroyed across four Russian regions, Caliber.Az reports citing Russian Defence Ministry.

The Russian Armed Forces shot down 12 UAVs each over the Kursk and Krasnodar regions, seven UAVs over the Bryansk region, and five UAVs over the Orel region. Additionally, one UAV was destroyed over the Sea of Azov.
