On the night of June 9-10, 2025, Russian air defense forces repelled a massive attack by Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), destroying and intercepting 102 aircraft-type drones over the territory of 11 regions. This was reported by the Russian Defense Ministry, specifying that the raid lasted from 21:50 to 05:50 Moscow time. The largest number of drones - 46 - were shot down in the Bryansk region, 20 - in Belgorod, 9 each in Voronezh and Crimea, as well as several each in the Moscow region, Tatarstan, Kaluga, Kursk, Leningrad, Oryol and Smolensk regions. The attack was one of the largest in recent months, causing temporary restrictions on the operation of a number of airports and concern among residents.

The Bryansk region became the main target of the attack, which, according to experts, is due to its border location and the presence of military facilities. In Belgorod, as reported by the Telegram channel "SHOT", the wreckage of one of the drones fell on a school yard, injuring an 8-year-old boy, who was hospitalized with a mine-explosive injury. In Tatarstan, where four UAVs were shot down, the mayor of Nizhnekamsk Radmir Belyaev confirmed that the drones were destroyed without damage to infrastructure, and the Begishevo airport temporarily suspended operations due to the "Carpet" plan. In the Moscow region, three drones were neutralized in the Ramensky and Naro-Fominsky districts, which led to the introduction of similar restrictions at the airports of Vnukovo, Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo and Zhukovsky.

Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian regions have become more frequent in 2025. As Reuters notes, the Ukrainian Armed Forces use long-range drones such as the Lyuty and UJ-22 Airborne, which can fly up to 1000 km, to strike military and industrial facilities.

Russian air defense systems, including the S-400 and Pantsir systems, have demonstrated high effectiveness, shooting down most of the drones. However, as the BBC notes, some devices reach their targets, causing damage to infrastructure.
