Russia reports downing 125 Ukrainian drones as conflict escalates in Voronezh

Russia's Defense Ministry reported downing 125 Ukrainian drones overnight on September 29, 2024. A residential apartment in Voronezh was struck, causing a fire, but no injuries were reported. In the Belgorod region, one person died and eight were injured due to drone and shelling attacks. The recent drone activity has targeted areas deep within Russian territory, including Volgograd, Belgorod, and Rostov. Kyiv has intensified its cross-border operations, launching attacks into Russia's Kursk region since early August. This marks a shift in the conflict as Ukraine takes the fight into Russian territory.
