The Armed Forces of Ukraine reportedly attempted to breach Russian territory in the Bryansk region with an unmanned aerial vehicle. This claim comes from the Telegram channel associated with the Russian Ministry of Defense. The report frames the event as a short, evening incident that unfolded on November 7, around 17:00 Moscow time, with air defense systems in the region engaging the intruding drone and preventing a strike on Russian targets. According to the ministry, the Ukrainian drone was destroyed within the Bryansk region and did not achieve its purported objective.
The ministry further clarified that the drone involved was of an aircraft-type category. Details regarding possible damage from falling debris or other collateral effects were not provided in the public statement. The emphasis remained on the interception and neutralization of the drone, rather than on extensive aftermath assessments.
On the same day, the Mash Telegram channel reported a sighting of an aircraft-type drone in the village of Arkhangelskoye in New Moscow. The drone reportedly had a wingspan of roughly two meters and was found hanging from a tree, causing no harm to residents or property. This corroboration from Mash offered a visual account of drone activity in areas adjacent to Moscow, though the exact nature of the threat and the drone’s origin were not explicitly confirmed in official disclosures.
Earlier statements from the Russian Ministry of Defense indicated that more than ten unmanned aerial vehicles were intercepted over the Black Sea. The sequence of reports underscores a broader pattern of drone activity in and around Russian airspace, a topic that has drawn attention from defense and security analysts monitoring cross-border operations and aerial surveillance dynamics in the region.
