   Russia's defense ministry said Wednesday it shot down four Ukrainian
   aerial drones over Kursk, a day after Russia said it repelled an
   attempt by hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers to breach the border region.

   The Russian defense ministry also said it destroyed three Ukrainian
   drones over the Belgorod region, two drones over Voronezh and two
   others over Rostov.

   Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on Telegram that several
   apartment buildings were damaged, but there were no reported
   casualties.

   The Ukrainian attacks also damaged apartment buildings in Voronezh,
   officials in the region said.

   In Ukraine's Mykolaiv region, Governor Vitaliy Kim said Ukrainian air
   defenses shot down 14 Russian aerial drones, with falling debris
   sparking several fires.

   Serhiy Lysak, governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, said on Telegram
   that Russian forces attacked with kamikaze drones and heavy artillery,
   damaging homes and several farm buildings.

   Officials in the Khmelnytskyi and Vinnytsia regions also reported
   Wednesday that Ukrainian air defenses destroyed several Russian aerial
   drones.
