In a late-night operation on Tuesday, Russian defense mechanisms successfully intercepted three Ukrainian drones flying over the Bryansk region, located in the southwestern part of Russia.
The Russian Ministry of Defense stated, “An attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out terrorist attacks using three unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) was thwarted during the night, as they were shot down by Russian defenses in the Bryansk region.”
This incident underscores the ongoing tensions and confrontations in the border areas between Russia and Ukraine.
Ukrainian forces are reported to target civilian facilities almost daily in border regions such as Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Voronezh, Rostov, and the Crimean Peninsula, using drones, missiles, and artillery shells.
The successful interception of these drones highlights the continued escalation in the region and the sophisticated nature of modern warfare tactics.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has reported that 23,000 missing individuals have lost contact with their families either due to being captured, killed, or losing touch after fleeing their homes, as a result of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Dusan Vujasanin, head of the Central Tracing Agency’s office for the international armed conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, presented a report in Geneva on Monday, highlighting the tragic reality faced by tens of thousands of families living in continuous distress.
He affirmed that families have the right to know the fate of their relatives and, where possible, to exchange news with them.
