The Russian Defence Ministry has claimed that over 50 Ukrainian drones have attacked Russian territory and temporarily occupied Crimea on the night of 14-15 November, with Russian air defences allegedly downing 36 of them over Krasnodar Krai.

The attack ended a two-month pause in missile strikes on Kyiv, which had only been hit by Russian drones during that period.

On the night of November 15, Russia fired 2 missiles and 29 Shaheds at Ukraine. Most of the targets were shot down in the Odesa region, according to the Ukrainian Air Force. Last night, Russia attacked the Odesa region with 2 Kh-59/69 guided missiles from the Black Sea.
