MOSCOW, March 31 (Xinhua) -- Russia will take corresponding measures if it is confirmed that European Union member states are allowing Ukraine to use their airspace to launch drone attacks against Russian targets, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday.
Peskov made the remarks when addressing reports that Baltic nations have opened their skies to Ukrainian drones targeting Russian territory, specifically the Leningrad Region.
"If this is taking place, it will compel us to draw the appropriate conclusions and take corresponding measures," Peskov told a press briefing.
Russia's air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 92 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) between 11:00 p.m. Moscow time (2000 GMT) on Monday and 7:00 a.m. (0400 GMT) on Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry said Tuesday.
In the Leningrad Region, three people, including two children, were injured, Governor Alexander Drozdenko said on social media. The injured received medical assistance at a hospital and did not require hospitalization.
In the past week, Ukrainian drones have repeatedly targeted sites in Russia's Leningrad Region, including multiple strikes on the port of Ust-Luga, a major Russian oil export terminal. ■
