The Russian Ministry of Defense declared that in total 7 Ukrainian UAVs were destroyed by the air defense forces in the border region. Five of the destroyed drones were intercepted in the Voronezh region, two more UAVs were destroyed in the Belgorod and Bryansk regions.
As a result of the night attack, a fire broke out at a warehouse with ammunition in the Ostrogozhsky district in the Voronezh region. According to local authorities, the fire broke out as a result of falling wreckage of a destroyed UAV, which caused the detonation of ammunition.
Unfortunately, two civilian women were wounded as a result of the attack. One of them was taken to a hospital in serious condition.
An emergency regime has been introduced in three villages of the Ostrogozhsky district. In addition, 200 people were temporarily evacuated from one of the villages until the consequences of fire and detonation are eliminated.
