Russian air defense systems shot down six ATACMS missiles, six Storm Shadow missiles and 31 drones launched by Ukraine over the Bryansk region and Black Sea, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
"An overnight attempt was made from the territory of Ukraine to launch a missile strike on targets in the Bryansk region using six US-made ATACMS operational-tactical missiles, six UK-made Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles and 31 aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles," the ministry said in a statement, adding that "all air attack weapons were shot down by air defense systems."
Two more Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles were shot down over the Black Sea, the statement read.
No Russians were killed or injured in operations, the ministry said.
Ukraine carried out its largest aerial attack on Russian territory of the nearly three-year war overnight, Kyiv said on Tuesday, hitting factories and energy hubs hundreds of miles from the front line.
The Russian military accused Kyiv of using US-and British-supplied missiles for one of the strikes and promised it would “not go unanswered”.
The barrage forced schools in the southwestern Saratov region to close, while at least nine airports in central and western Russia temporarily halted traffic, according to Russian officials.
