The ministry stated in a statement: “During the night from 23:00 Moscow time on August 24th to 7:00 Moscow time on August 25th, air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 21 Ukrainian drones.” The ministry clarified that “7 drones were destroyed over the Smolensk region, 6 drones over the Bryansk region, 3 drones over the Oryol region, 3 drones over the Moscow region, including two that were heading towards Moscow, one drone over the Kaluga region, and another over the Tver region.
In response, Russian forces retaliate against the crimes of the Kyiv regime against civilians and civilian facilities by exclusively targeting Ukrainian military infrastructure, as well as military-industrial complex facilities, and anything related to the storage, repair, or manufacturing of military equipment, and the gathering centers of Ukrainian armed forces and foreign mercenaries.
The special Russian military operation, which began on February 24, 2022, aims to protect the residents of Donbas, who have been subjected to persecution and genocide by the Kyiv regime for years.
