The wreckage of a Ukrainian drone that crashed damaged an unused reservoir in a fuel depot in Russia's Voronezh region, regional governor Alexander Gusev said via the Telegram messaging app.

"There were no casualties or fires, and the drone is one of six drones shot down by air defenses in the region," he added.

Separately, RIA news agency quoted the Russian Ministry of Defense as saying 70 Ukrainian drones had been shot down overnight in the Rostov region, and 17 in other regions, including Voronezh.

As previously reported, the Ukrainian military claimed to have attacked three Russian missile air defense systems in Russia's occupied Crimea. This incident is the second attack on air defenses on the peninsula this week.

The attack targeted more sophisticated S-300 systems and two S-400 systems near Belbek and Sevastopol, Ukraine's general staff said.

As a result of the attack, two S-300 and S-400 complex radars were destroyed. Information about the third radar is being clarified," he said via Telegram.
