Today, an unmanned aerial vehicle of Ukrainian formations was shot down in the Valuysky city district in the Belgorod region. This was announced in his Telegram channel by the governor of the Belgorod region Vyacheslav Gladkov.
The head of the regional administration said that the drone was shot down by air defense means of the Russian armed forces. The servicemen worked very competently. There were no casualties among residents and military personnel and no damage. Fragments of an unmanned aerial vehicle fell into a field.
Currently, as Gladkov noted, the staff of operational services are engaged in the survey of the territory where fragments of the downed drone fell. It is known about the unmanned aerial vehicle itself that it is the H10 Poseidon VTOL UAS drone of Cypriot production. Such drones are designed to conduct intelligence activities.

The Belgorod governor showed in his Telegram channel a photo of a downed Ukrainian drone of Cypriot production, more precisely, fragments left after the drone fell on the field.
The aerospace company Swarmly, headquartered in Cyprus, produces such drones. Experts call the main advantage of the drone the ability to act as stealthily as possible from the enemy and remain unnoticed for a long time. Back in August 2022, it was reported that the APU received drones of this type.
It should be noted that in recent weeks there has been a surge in sabotage and intelligence activity of Ukrainian formations in the border regions of Russia, primarily in the Belgorod and Bryansk regions.
For example, yesterday a light-engine plane crashed in the Bryansk region, flying into the region from the territory of Ukraine. His pilot has been detained, operatives are working with him. Before that, Ukrainian formations tried to attack various objects in the Bryansk region – from the Druzhba oil pipeline to the military enlistment office and the interdistrict department of internal affairs.
