According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Russian air defense forces allegedly managed to shoot down four drones in the skies above Penza, but later Penza Region Governor Oleh Melnichenko reported the destruction of five Ukrainian UAVs by air defense assets.

"Early this morning, there was another attack by enemy drones on a Penza enterprise. I am at the scene where emergency services are working. Unfortunately, a woman was killed.
