At least one civilian was killed in the overnight raid, according to local governor

The Ukrainian military launched a massive drone strike on several Russian regions, with the vast majority of UAVs intercepted over the western border region of Bryansk, according to the Defense Ministry.

Russian air defenses intercepted a total of 115 drones between 8:30pm Sunday and 4:35am Monday, including ten over Crimea and the Black Sea, two over Kursk, and one over Belgorod Region.

Some 102 drones were downed over Bryansk Region, where, according to local governor Aleksandr Bogomaz, the attack damaged civilian infrastructure and killed at least one person.

"The Kiev regime carried out another act of terrorism tonight. Unfortunately, the Ukrainian attack on the city of Bryansk killed a civilian and injured a woman. She was quickly taken to the hospital where she is receiving the necessary medical assistance," Bogomaz wrote on Telegram.

Bryansk was also targeted in a massive drone raid last week, although to a much lesser extent and without casualties. Last Thursday, the Russian military downed a total of 87 Ukrainian UAVs -half of themover the Crimean Peninsula.

Last weekend, President Vladimir Putin announced a unilateral suspension of hostilities as part of a 30-hour Easter ceasefire, ordering Russian troops to only engage Ukrainian forces in response to attacks. Despite a marked decline in the intensity of Ukrainian operations, the Russian Defense Ministry logged approximately4,900 violationsduring this period. Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky, in turn, accused Moscow of thousands of violations.
