The Russian Ministry of Defense reported the information.

According to their data, 26 UAVs were reportedly shot down over the Belgorod region, 23 over the Voronezh region, three drones over the Kursk, Bryansk, and Tambov regions, and one more over the Azov Sea waters.

According to the Telegram channel SHOT, explosions were heard in Ossetia in the morning. It is likely that a drone tried to hit a TV tower in Vladikavkaz.

Additionally, Kazan Airport temporarily stopped accepting and dispatching flights "to ensure the safety of civil aircraft flights." This is reportedly related to the threat of a drone attack on the region.

  • On Christmas Eve, December 24, and into Christmas Day, December 25, the Russian army launched Shahed-type drones and missiles at Ukraine. A missile launch was also recorded. As a result of the attack, there are casualties and damage. For more details on the aftermath of the attack, follow the link.
