Vehicle and commercial buildings were targeted by kamikaze drones in Belgorod Region
Two civilians were killed and four injured in Ukrainian drone strikes in Russia’s Belgorod Region on Sunday, its governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said.
A drone struck a car carrying a married couple and their son in the village of Nechyaevka, the governor said on Telegram. The father and son were killed at the scene, while the man’s wife was hospitalized.
A young man and a teenage girl were injured in an attack on a commercial building in the city of Gubkin. Both were sitting in a car parked outside. The girl was hospitalized with a brain injury and remains in critical condition. Another woman was injured in a separate strike in the regional capital, Belgorod. According to the governor, nearly a dozen residential buildings were damaged.
Ukraine has stepped up attacks deep inside Russia in recent weeks, launching more than 600 drones from Friday to Saturday. On Monday, a kamikaze drone hit a residential skyscraper in Moscow, not far from the capital’s business district.
Russia has accused Ukraine of deliberately targeting civilians, including with Western-supplied weapons. Last month, the Russian Defense Ministry published what it said was a list of addresses of European companies involved in manufacturing drones for Ukraine and warned Kiev’s backers that such aid could lead to further escalation.
