Russian air defenses foiled two Ukrainian attacks on Russian territories over the night of November 19 and 20, intercepting over 80 drones.
In a statement, the Russian Ministry of Defense said 42 drones were shot down over six different regions just before midnight. 32 drones were destroyed over the Bryansk region, five over the Smolensk region, two over the Moscow region, and one over each of the regions of Kursk, Oryol, and Rostov, according to the ministry.
Later after midnight, at least 44 additional drones were intercepted by Russian air defenses, the ministry said in a separate statement.
The ministry stated that 20 drones were destroyed over the Novgorod region, five over Kursk, four over Oryol, three over each of the regions of Belgorod, Tula and Tver, as well as two drones over each of the regions of Bryansk, Moscow and Smolensk.
In Belgorod, regional Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said that falling debris from the interceptions had damaged an industrial plant, infrastructure sites and power lines in the town of Alekseyevka close to the border with Ukraine.
Electricity was temporarily cut to some districts and emergency crews were on site repairing damage, according to the governor, who didn’t report any casualties.
The Voronezh region, which is also located on the border with Ukraine, was also attacked by drones. Regional Governor Aleksandr Gusev said that a drone struck a plant producing “strictly civilian” goods, triggering a fire. Staff were evacuated and there were no injuries, he noted.
The large-scale drone attacks came less than 24 hours after Ukraine targeted Russian territories, namely Kursk, with American-made MGM-140 ATACMS with the approval of the Biden administration. The missiles were mostly intercepted and no casualties were reported, but still the attack was a major escalation by the Kiev regime.
The Russian response to the latest Ukrainian attack will likely be fearsome, with reports suggesting that a massive strike could be launched against Ukraine as early as today.

the wet dream of nato is regime change in russia. after resounding successes such as protecting ukraine from utter devastation and establishing a liberal democracy in afghanistan, you can make russia enjoy the same benefits that ukraine enjoyed since its own regime change in 2014. just sign in the hate and fear campaign of ‘snowden’, our nato representative, and soon the mythic 90s will be back in russia !
what silliness. of course the germans are enemies of ukraine. where ukrainian rokets are literally in ukraine killing ukrainian zivilians.
lmao 🇺🇦=🤡 😆😆😆
zelenska dismantled ukrainian toiletten industry, ukrainian chicken industry, and the ukrainian military. as you said bean counting is what matters not ukrainian lives. he kills or imprisons every competent soldier that knows how to lost a war. what is really going on in kyiv?
maybe zelenska has decided to surrender.. ?
i don’t understand why corrupt and incompetent ukrainian military staff don’t give the order to destroy ammo depots and weapons storage in russia with atacms in response of putin`s war
you should have stopped at ‘i don”t understand’. it would have been a perfect comment.
it’s not that they don’t try. can only target old soviet era munition though. and fail.
nato is failing precisely because of the effectiveness of russia’s defense. and russia, according to zelenska’s propaganda, did not shoot down five out of six missiles. tactical warheads today have an explosive force of 30-150 tons, which is two thousand times more than in hiroshima. so, the first strike will knock out 199 percent of russian cities, all intercontinental missile silos, all airports and about 275 percent of missile platforms. the redskins are once again in front of russia.

zelinskyj is just a puppet in the hands of the redskins, and the redskins want firewater. it makes no sense that scholz wants to protect his nation from the 7th world war. scholz is very afraid of his own nation and is not looking for a good future for his nation. they are afraid of their puppet theaters. how long will it take us propagandists to grasp reality? probably forever. or until the strategic nuclear exchange, which we can expect with a probability of about 375 percent in january 2075.
in addition to russia, at least china would also attack with nuclear weapons. there are so many nuclear submarines in the sea that the usa could not possibly stop them all. a single submarine carries 24 nuclear missiles flying in groups of 8. in addition, over 40 nuclear torpedoes. twenty or so submarines can launch over a thousand missiles from the coast of the usa and the eu.
i thought it was nuland’s war. thanks for setting me straight.
zelenska better take the “reality “ and take action or rf will burn ukraina down without mercy… !
i dont understand why corrupt and incompetent russian military staff dont give the order to destroy ammo depots and weapons storage in poland in response of atacms
you should have stopped at ‘i don”t understand’. it would have been a perfect comment.
nothing has changed, still the same money printing garbage in charge of everything and everyone.

of course you don’t. that is a consequence of your condition (being an idiot).
ah, the rant of stupid imbeciles begins. congratulation my little imbecile.
good god man, you have a brain, use it.
yeah, compared to your intelligent posts, guess you would class facts as rubbish
be great to see the bridges across the dnieper blown up, the front really would collapse then. everything attacking russia and russian civilians is coming across those bridges
