Russian forces on Monday destroyed four Ukrainian drones over the Kursk region of the country, according to the nation's defense ministry, Paralel.Az reports citing Teletrader.

The ministry said the attacks involved aircraft-type drones and were intercepted by Russian air defense systems. The attempted attacks were first thwarted around 10:30 pm, Moscow time, and two more UAVs were shot down about half an hour later.

The attacks come after the region was targeted by drones several times on Sunday.
