Russia was once again the target of an attack by Ukrainian drones. On the night of Sunday July 30 to Monday July 31, “a drone hit the police station of the Troubchevsky district”, in the Russian region of Briansk, bordering Ukraine, announced Alexander Bogomaz, the director general, on Telegram .
There are no casualties. The damage is only material: the windows and the roof of the building were damaged, he also said.
These drone attacks against Russian territory and the Crimean peninsula annexed in 2014 have multiplied in recent weeks, against the backdrop of a Kiev counter-offensive that began in early June. On Sunday morning, Russia announced that it had repelled two separate Ukrainian drone attacks overnight, one targeting the annexed Crimean peninsula and the other Moscow.
Attacks on and around Moscow, about 500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, have been rare since the conflict began in February 2022. In recent months, however, several drone incursions have targeted the Russian capital, including one against the Kremlin last May.
