The Russian Defence Ministry said 110 drones were destroyed in the overnight barrage against seven Russian regions. Many targeted Russia's border region of Kursk, where 43 drones were reportedly shot down.

Social media footage appeared to show air defences at work over the city of Dzerzhinsk in the Nizhny Novgorod region, close to a factory producing explosives.

Local governor Gleb Nikitin wrote on social media yesterday that four fighters had been injured repelling a drone attack over Dzerzhinsk's industrial zone, but did not give further details.
