Russia Says Destroyed 47 Ukrainian Drones Over Southern Regions Overnight

"In Taganrog, in all likelihood, the target of raid was the Beriev aviation plant," Telegram channel Rybar, with close army links, said.

Russia said on Saturday it had destroyed 47 Ukrainian drones over its southern regions overnight, mostly in the Rostov area bordering Ukraine.

Kyiv has regularly launched drones into Russia during Moscow's military offensive in Ukraine, now in its third year. 

"Air defence systems on duty intercepted and destroyed over the territories of Belgorod region (one drone), Kursk region (two drones), Volgograd region (three drones) and Rostov region (41 drones)," the Russian army said on social media.
