Russia claims it downed 32 Ukrainian drones across four oblasts
Russian air defense systems intercepted and downed 32 drones within the country's airspace at night, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed on Telegram on Dec. 30.
These drones were purportedly taken down over the regions of Bryansk, Oryol, Kursk, and Moscow oblasts.
The governor of Bryansk Oblast, Aleksandr Bogomaz, claimed that six drones were shot down over Bryansk and the Bryansky district at night.
Several dozen explosions sounded in Belgorod on the evening of Dec. 29. According to local authorities, these were the result of operational air defense systems.
Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov of Belgorod Oblast later also claimed that air defense systems were operational within the region. He said that there was allegedly "one injured and one killed," but did not provide any other details about this incident.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
