Russia intercepts 15 drones targeting Ufa, Bashkortostan

Russian air defenses downed 15 drones en route to Ufa on September 21, per acting mayor Rustam Sharipov. This is a continuation of Ukrainian long-range drone strikes deep into Russian territory, but the scale and target (Ufa, far beyond typical strike zones) mark a notable escalation. The claim is unverified independently; details on damage or casualties are absent.
