Russian air defenses thwarted a Ukrainian drone attack on a television tower in the southwestern Bryansk region bordering Ukraine, a local official said Wednesday. Aleksandr Bogomaz said a fire had been extinguished and emergency services were working at the site of the alleged attack. Earlier Wednesday, Russia's defense ministry said Ukrainian drones were intercepted over the regions of Bryansk, Oryol and Kaluga. Andrey Klychkov said two drones were shot down over the western region. The reports come a day after four Russian aircraft were damaged in a drone attack at an airport in the western city of Pskov, officials said.
