The Russian defense ministry reported on Sunday that its air defense systems intercepted 125 Ukrainian drones overnight. Additionally, a residential building was struck in the western city of Voronezh, as confirmed by the local governor.

In a separate update, Vyacheslav Gladkov, the governor of Belgorod, detailed the drone and shelling incidents from the past 24 hours, noting that one individual lost his life in the border town of Shebekino, while eight civilians sustained injuries in the surrounding area.

As Russia continues its military operations in eastern Ukraine, Kyiv has escalated its efforts by launching cross-border attacks into Russia’s western Kursk region, which began on August 6, and by executing increasingly extensive drone strikes deep within Russian territory.

The defense ministry indicated that the recent assaults primarily targeted the southern Volgograd region, where 67 drones were neutralized. Furthermore, 17 drones were intercepted over both the Belgorod and Voronezh regions, while 18 were downed in the Rostov region.

Alexander Gusev, the governor of the Voronezh region, reported via the Telegram messaging app that a drone crash resulted in a fire at a residential complex. He indicated that the fire has been brought under control and that there were no reported injuries based on initial assessments.

The Mash Telegram channel shared a video that allegedly depicts flames consuming the upper floor of a high-rise building in Voronezh. However, Reuters has not yet been able to verify the authenticity of the video.
