The ministry’s statement read: “On the 27th of September, from 23:00 until midnight, air defense systems shot down 17 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones: seven over Belgorod region, six over Voronezh region, three over Rostov region, and one over the Republic of Crimea.” Kyiv follows terrorist methods, primarily using attack drones and artillery shelling against civilians and civilian facilities in Russia. In response to Kyiv regime’s crimes against civilians and civilian facilities, it targets Ukrainian military infrastructure exclusively, as well as military-industrial complex facilities and anything related to the storage, repair, or manufacture of military equipment and assembly points for 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.
