Russian forces shot down “a large number” of drones in Russia’s southern Belgorod region, a local official said Wednesday, a day after Moscow announced that its forces crushed a cross-border raid in the area from Ukraine.
In this handout photo released by Belgorod region governor Vyacheslav Gladkov's telegram channel on Tuesday, May 23, 2023, a damaged armored military vehicle is seen after fighting in Russia's western Belgorod region on Tuesday. Russian troops and security forces fought for a second day Tuesday against an alleged cross-border raid that Moscow blamed on Ukrainian military saboteurs but which Kyiv portrayed as an uprising against the Kremlin by Russian partisans.

Kyiv described it as an uprising against the Kremlin by Russian partisans. It was, to say with certainty who was behind the attack or to ascertain its aims.
