Russian air defenses shot down over 70 Ukrainian suicide drones over the night of August 2 and 3, according to the Ministry of Defense.
In a statement, the ministry said that 36 drones were intercepted over the Rostov region, eight over the Kursk region, nine over the Belgorod region, 17 over the Oryol region, two over the Ryazan region in addition to one drone over each of the Voronezh region, the Sea of Azov and the region of Krasnodar Krai.
Rostov Governor Vasily Golubev said that 55 “Ukrainian drones” had attacked his region overnight, damaging “storage facilities in the Kamensky and Morozovsky districts.” He noted that no casualties had been reported.
There is a large military airfield in the region’s Morozovsky district which was reportedly the main target of the drone attack.
Meanwhile, Vyacheslav Gladkov, Governor of Belgorod, reported that an oil reservoir there had been destroyed by a drone strike, but no casualties were reported. He said the fire had been extinguished.
In the Oryol region, Governor Andrei Klychkov wrote on Telegram that three drones had been destroyed while “two drones fell on a residential building.” He said no casualties were reported.
Also overnight, a drone attack attributed to Russia damaged critical infrastructure in Vinnytsia and other Ukrainian regions.
The Ukrainian Air Force said that it shot down 24 out of 29 Geran-type suicide drones over nine regions. Russian forces also launched two S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles and two Kh-31 anti-radar missiles, the air force said.
Kherson regional governor Oleksander Prokudin alleged that air defense shot down five drones over his region. Nevertheless, he admitted that Russian attacks on the region in the past day struck critical infrastructure and an administrative building.
The Kiev regime intensified drone attacks on Russia in recent months, damaging infrastructure and killing or wounding dozens of civilians. These attacks appear to be a desperate attempt by the regime to make up for the recent defeats of its forces.
In response, the Russian military resumed group strikes on military infrastructure and related energy facilities in Ukraine. It also stepped up offensive operations, capturing even more territory from Kiev forces in Donetsk and several other directions.

better to hit the nazi drones centers before they can even take off
there are no centers, 1 or 2 pick up suvs enough to launch such crap, i’v seen it in “avenging “lancets”” series here at sf. then it’s flying low in silent mode guided by satellite signal and volumetric map. sometimes it crashes, because a tree grew up on its way, which was not so tall on volumetric map.
russia announcing a russian-crimea tube tunnel link would negate all further political threats made against the kerch bridge and crimea.
authorities of crimea and federal ones denied that. there will be new bridge to sahalin island and high speed railway from moskva to spb, then probably to kazan’ and further to largest cities of ural, if to speak about recent main road projects.
