Air defense systems on duty shot down 11 drones over Bryansk Oblast, eight over Belgorod Oblast, four over Rostov Oblast, and one over Astrakhan Oblast.

In Voronezh Oblast, a drone attack alert was last issued as of publication on the night of February 3. On the night of February 1, a missile danger alert was declared in the region and sirens were activated, including due to the threat of a direct drone strike.
