The attacks targeted multiple regions, causing minor destruction but no casualties
Russian air defense systems successfully intercepted and destroyed 126 Ukrainian drones across various regions overnight, the Defense Ministry has reported. Most of the UAVs were neutralized over Volgograd and Voronezh regions.
According to the Telegram channel Shot, the attack aimed at Volgograd included up to 20 explosions, reportedly targeting a local oil refinery. Regional Governor Andrey Bocharov reported on Saturday morning that drone debris caused a small fire which was quickly extinguished, and confirmed there were no injuries or damage to infrastructure.
In Belgorod, residential buildings sustained damage from drone-launched explosives, with reports of broken windows and fires sparked by debris. Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said no one was injured in the attack, according to preliminary data.
On Tuesday morning, Kiev launched a major multi-wave attack on several Russian regions, with Russian air defenses intercepting 337 drones, including 91 over Moscow Region. The assault resulted in the deaths of three civilians and left several others injured.
Shortly after the attack, US and Ukrainian representatives met in Saudi Arabia, where they released a joint statement proposing a 30-day ceasefire to Moscow.
On Friday, hours after a meeting between US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Moscow repelled another Ukrainian drone attack.
