Firefighters work on a building that was partially destroyed after a Russian bombardment in Chernihiv, Ukraine

Ukraine’s military has been driving innovation since the war began in February 2022, notably adapting drones for wide use against the bigger Kremlin forces. Three Ukrainian balloons and one drone were downed over the Voronezh region, which borders the Moscow-occupied Luhansk region of Ukraine, and two balloons were intercepted in the Belgorod region of Russia next to Ukraine, the Russian defence ministry said.

The defence ministry also said that three drones were destroyed over the Rostov region, both in southern Russia.
