Drones attempted to attack the Baltimor military airfield in Russia's Voronezh region. This occurred on the morning of December 25, informs ASTRA.

On the morning of December 25, the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that their air defense intercepted 59 drones. Allegedly, 26 drones were shot down over the Belgorod region, 23 over Voronezh, three over Kursk, Bryansk, and Tambov regions, and one over the Azov Sea.

According to the Russian media, yesterday drones tried to strike the Baltimor military airfield in Voronezh, where several drones were reportedly shot down.

ASTRA notes that drone debris allegedly fell on a garage in Voronezh, causing it to burn down. In the village of Novogremyachye, a downed drone damaged the roof of a residential building.
