Russian air defenses intercepted dozens of suicide drones over Crimea early on March 3, foiling one of the largest Ukrainian aerial attacks on the Peninsula.
“An attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack using 38 unmanned aerial vehicles was prevented,” the Russian Ministry of Defense said in a brief statement, adding that all hostile targets were destroyed by the air defenses.
Videos posted to social media showed several of the Ukrainian drones being shot down by anti-aircraft missiles over different parts of Crimea.
There were no reports of any casualties or material losses in Crimea. Still, Russian authorities announced several closures of parts of the highway leading to the Crimean Bridge as well as the crossing itself overnight.
The attack was the latest in a series of drone strikes launched by the Kiev regime against Russian territory in recent days.
Late on March 2, the Russian MoD announced that air defenses destroyed a Ukrainian drone over the Gulf of Finland in the Leningrad region.
“The Kiev regime’s attempt to carry out a terrorist attack using a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle against facilities in the Russian Federation was thwarted. The air defense units on duty destroyed the Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle over the Leningrad Region,” the ministry said in a statement.
Leningrad Governor Alexander Drozdenko said that air defenses operated over the Lomonosov district in the Leningrad Region to destroy several aerial targets. The nearby port of Bronka was not damaged. There are no casualties or material losses as a result of the incident, Drozdenko said. Operations at Pulkovo Airport were briefly suspended.
Around the same time, two other Ukrainian drones were intercepted over the Belograd region, according to the Russian MoD, which didn’t report any losses.
Earlier on the same day, a drone hit a residential building in the northern part of the city of Saint Petersburg. The Health Committee of the city reported that six civilians sought medical help following the incident. Authorities evacuated 100 others from the scene. The Kiev regime was likely responsible.
In a separate attack, a Ukrainian combat drone attacked a team of the Russian Investigative Committee in a border area of the Bryansk region. The committee said that four people had sustained various wounds in the attack.
Emergency services in the region told TASS that one of the wounded was in a serious condition, while the remaining three sustained light injuries.
Ukraine stepped up attacks on Russian territory after losing the strategic city of Avdeevka in the Donetsk region last month. The Kiev regime apparently sees attacks on Russian territory as a way to make up for its never ending failures on the battlefields.
The Russian military usually responds to Ukrainian attacks by launching large-scale missile and drone strikes against high-value targets of Kiev forces.
it sounds to me like westoid losers are begging to be nuked
not many people who understand the reality here are going to complain about dc, langley and the pentagram getting nuked.
o meserie noua : operator de drone. mai avem si meserii mai vechi : tesator de realitate pt prosti. cati romani bor sa. mearga sa apere valorile occidentale pe teritoriul claunului? sa ne scrie fara răutăți. armata romana cu generali degenarati care isi omoara seful si generali in gips n are sansa. infanteristii se vor omora intre ei. romania = tara specialilor si esentialilor.
what a bunch of bozos. attacking some city when you are losing and need the drones to take out tanks and artillery. these people are so damn stupid it’s embarrassing to watch.
from where are the drones deployed? odessa area? rus should deploy kilometers of floating buoys with nets to not let boat drones pass by. and then have boats patrolling the waters with air defense capabilities and make way for landing in odessa.

where all this weapons, intel, reconnaissance, instructors, mercenaries came from – well, everybody knows. they need to destroy brics now, cause time is not on their side.
this is terrorism with no military significance. a mental health emergency must be declared amongst western leaders because this sort of mindless destruction could end badly for everyone.
globalist dictators are mental they have legions of brainwashed idiots who literally cant be reasoned with. you can show them facts and they go into an instant rage. they are pedo cannibal demons and they need to be nuked, in their bunkers and private islands too. declaring an emergency will do nothing but put a lot more innocent people in medical experiment labs.

until russia hits ukraine parliamentary building they will not stop.
very strange how ukrops target all russians and russians only target poor conscripted ukrainians while ignoring the decision makers.
nato’s looming defeat in ukraine will mark the beginning of the end of this abomination that should have been buried in 1991
yes, they are showing the whole world that they are completely useless
