KYIV: Russian forces shot down "a large number" of drones in the country's southern Belgorod region, a local official said on Wednesday, a day after Moscow announced that its forces crushed a cross-border raid in the area from Ukraine.

The drones were intercepted overnight over the region, Belgorod Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov said in a Telegram post. No one had been hurt, he added, but unspecified administrative buildings, residential buildings and cars were damaged.
