SINGLE SOURCE
While the general event of drones being shot down is confirmed in the TASS report for Claim 0, the specific time window (08:00 to 20:00 Moscow time) and the specific list of regions (Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, and Crimea) are not explicitly corroborated by the other provided web search results, which discuss different dates or different drone counts (e.g., 660, 174, 42). The TASS report for Claim 0 supports the count and date, but the detailed breakdown in Claim 1 lacks independent corroboration from the other provided sources.
