Russia claims 75 drones downed in mass Kyiv attack

Kyiv attacked Russia with 75 drones and 7 sea drones. According to the statement, 26 drones were shot down over the Belgorod region, 19 over Lipetsk, seven over Kursk, five over Bryansk, four over Voronezh, one over Oryol, five over occupied Crimea, and eight over the waters of the Black Sea.

At this moment, it is known that at least four drones hit a residential building in Shebekino in the Belgorod region. Rescuers are working at the scene.

The most serious situation is in the Lipetsk region, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the military airport. "It's all on fire. Look at what's happening there!" terrified residents shouted. Authorities declared a state of emergency in the region. Due to the ignition of the aviation ammunition depot, a decision was made to evacuate nearby towns.

According to regional governor Igor Artamonov, 416 households are included in the evacuation zone. Tens of buses have been brought in to evacuate residents.

Nine people were injured. There is also no electricity in the region, probably due to an attack on one of the power substations.

The authorities of the Lipetsk region decided to cancel all entertainment events.

Explosions also occurred in Russian-occupied Crimea. At this moment, at least one explosion is reported in the Black Sea region.

Explosions were also heard in Sevastopol, Simferopol, Belbek (where a military base is located), and Saky.

The governor of occupied Sevastopol claims that three drones and three unmanned boats attacked the region. According to him, no civilian objects in the city were damaged. However, local Telegram channels report that smoke is rising in the city.
