The Russian Defense Ministry has increased the capabilities of military personnel operating in the Bryansk region by supplying additional tools to counter unmanned aerial vehicles and to reinforce power supply stations. This update was shared through official Telegram channels of the defense departments and conveys the latest measures taken to bolster regional security.
The released statement indicates that the Coordination Council of the Russian Ministry of Defense reviewed 11 requests from the Bryansk region’s operational headquarters seeking the necessary equipment to safeguard the area. All objections have been addressed, and decisions have been made on those requests that were previously in doubt. In practical terms, this means the region now has more robust resources to deter UAV activity and ensure continuity of services under stress.
The publication notes that the group received additional vehicles, power plants, and extra engineering equipment designed to counter UAV threats. This aligns with ongoing efforts to improve logistical resilience and rapid response capabilities across border areas that have faced repeated drone incursions and related security challenges.
In addition, the ministry reported that Kursk and Belgorod regions submitted 39 and 19 similar requests respectively. As a result, 24 of the Kursk region requests were resolved, and eight from Belgorod were settled. The remaining inquiries are still being processed, with officers coordinating to address operational needs and minimize any gaps in defense coverage in neighboring districts.
On the morning of August 30, the press service of the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that 18 Ukrainian drones were intercepted across several regions overnight, including two in Crimea, one in Belgorod, four in Kaluga, and 11 in Bryansk. These figures illustrate the scale of ongoing drone activity and the continuous efforts to disrupt such threats through coordinated air defense operations and targeted countermeasures.
Earlier, during a drone strike in the Bryansk region, the head of one municipal district sustained injuries. This incident underscores the ongoing risk to regional governance and civil infrastructure, highlighting the need for comprehensive defense and rapid emergency response protocols across the affected communities.
