Nine drones were destroyed or disarmed over Crimea on Wednesday night, the peninsula’s Moscow-installed head, Sergey Aksenov, reported on Telegram.

According to Aksenov, six drones were shot down by Russian air defense forces, while three more were jammed and grounded using electronic warfare systems.

One drone exploded in Dokuchaevo, a village in Crimea’s Krasnohvardiiske, causing windows to shatter in multiple residential buildings. Nobody was injured, according to Aksenov.
