The Russian defence ministry said on Saturday that its air defence had downed all nine missiles launched from Ukraine over its western Belgorod region.
Belgorod borders Ukraine's Kharkiv region and has repeatedly come under fire since the beginning of Russia's special military operation in February 2022.
Ukraine almost never publicly claims responsibility for attacks inside Russia.
Russia's defence ministry said it thwarted Ukraine's "terror" attack on its objects by destroying nine missiles of the multiple-launch rocket system called "Uragan" (Hurricane) in the air.
