An airport in the northwestern Russian city of Pskov not far from the border with Estonia was attacked by drones, Pskov Region Governor Mikhail Vedernikov said early on Wednesday.

Iran PressEurope: "The defense ministry’s forces are repelling a drone attack on an airport in Pskov," the governor wrote on Telegram. "More detailed information will follow after a meeting of the crisis center, which I will chair personally.".

The attack came hours after a Russian fighter jet destroyed a Ukrainian drone over the Black Sea in addition to an anti-ship cruise missile along with nearly 30 drones over the last 24 hours.

Over the last several months, the Ukrainian army has repeatedly relied on drone attacks as part of the much-touted counteroffensive effort, which has largely proved unsuccessful.
