One civilian was killed and at least ten others wounded in a major Ukrainian drone attack targeting residential areas of Belgorod, according to Mayor Valentin Demidov. The strike caused significant damage to multiple residential buildings, personal vehicles, and public facilities, forcing more than 50 residents into temporary shelters.
Eight of the wounded were hospitalized, while two received medical treatment and were discharged early Sunday.
The mayor described the enemy’s action as a large-scale drone strike on residential areas in the city center.
Russia has accused Ukraine of deliberately targeting civilians and infrastructure to compensate for battlefield setbacks, where Moscow’s forces continue their advance.
Oryol Region Governor Andrey Klychkov reported three deaths in a missile strike on a civilian enterprise during rush hour. Ukrainian drones also caused the temporary closure of all four Moscow airports.
The Ukrainian military’s actions have been condemned as deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure.
