Russia’s Defense Ministry said its forces intercepted over 100 Ukrainian drones across the south of the country, the Black Sea and Russian-occupied Crimea overnight.
“Fifty-one UAVs were destroyed and intercepted over Crimea, 44 over the Krasnodar region, six over the Belgorod region and one over Kursk region”, the ministry said.
Russian Naval forces also destroyed six drone boats in the Black Sea, it added.
Meanwhile, officials in Russia’s southern Krasnodar region said that they had contained a fire at the Tuapse oil refinery that broke out after a Ukrainian drone attack.
An electrical substation in Sevastopol was also damaged, according to local governor Mikhail Razvozhaev.
“There will be isolated blackouts,” he said. “In view of the situation, I made a decision to cancel classes in all schools, institutions of secondary vocational education and kindergartens.”
