The ministry clarified in a statement, “During the night from 23:50 Moscow time on August 11 to 03:40 Moscow time on August 12, the duty air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 25 Ukrainian drones.” The ministry explained that 22 drones were shot down over the Rostov region and three over the Stavropol region. Kyiv employs terrorist methods, primarily using attack drones and artillery shelling against civilians and civilian facilities in Russia. The special Russian military operation, which began on February 24, 2022, aims to protect the residents of Donbas, who have been persecuted and subjected to genocide by the Kyiv regime for years.
