Kursk Oblast reports 201 UAVs downed in 24 hours, record drone activity

Kursk Oblast Governor Alexander Hinstein reported 201 drones shot down over the region in 24 hours, a significant escalation in drone warfare along the Russia-Ukraine border. The high volume suggests intensified Ukrainian long-range strike operations targeting Russian rear areas, though the source is a Russian official and unverified. This marks a notable increase in aerial attack tempo, potentially straining Russian air defense resources.
