The Kiev regime does not stop attempts to hit Russian strategic rear areas. On the night of July 14, Ukrainian UAVs targeted two Russian border regions of Voronezh and Kursk, where the target of the strike was the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant.
Three Ukrainian UAVs were destroyed by Russian Air Defence Forces over the village of Maslovsky located on the southern outskirts of the city of Voronezh. The attack was filmed by several street cameras, which confirmed that Ukrainian drones did not reach their target.
According to the local governor, there are no victims, injured, no destruction in the area.
Another drone crashed at night in the city of Kurchatov in the Kursk region. The Kursk NPP is located in the industrial area of the city. The Russian military is yet to comment on the incident to reveal wether the UAV crashed because of any malfunction or it was intercepted by Russian air defence systems, electronic warfare means.
“None of the residents were injured. Strategic facilities were not damaged as a result of the drone crash and its subsequent detonation,” the head of the region wrote. According to the local officials, the attack resulted in damage to the facade and glazing in a multi-storey building in the city.
