Russian Defenses shoot down one drone and 7 Ukrainian missiles over Belgorod Province

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the downing of one drone and seven "Grad" missiles fired by Kiev forces on Belgorod District, southwestern Russia. Kiev forces continue to target the border areas in southwestern Russia with drones and missiles on an almost daily basis, which confirms, according to what President Vladimir Putin announced, the necessity of expanding the scope of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, and removing Kiev forces from Russian areas, including new ones, with the range of missiles with which they are trying to strike Russia.
