Moscow said Friday it had destroyed eight Ukrainian drones in western Russia, following a deadly Russian strike on a village across the frontline.
The Russian defence ministry said the attempted drone attacks on Belgorod and Kursk took place late Thursday.
"Kyiv regime's attempt to carry out a terrorist attack by an aircraft-type UAV on objects on the territory of the Russian Federation was thwarted," it said on Telegram.
It said one drone was destroyed over Kursk at around 8:30 pm (1730 GMT), and seven were shot down over Belgorod and the surrounding region a few hours later.
