Russian air defenses have intercepted several Ukrainian drones over several regions, with local authorities in Belgorod reporting multiple injuries among civilians as well as damage to houses and other infrastructure.
At least eight people, including an 11-year-old girl, were injured in Belgorod as a result of the strikes, regional Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on Telegram early Thursday morning. Four victims were rushed to a hospital with various shrapnel wounds, while the girl, injured with shrapnel in her left foot, has been taken to a specialized children’s hospital.
At least 34 flats in 19 multi-story buildings and one private house, as well as 37 vehicles, were damaged in the city of Belgorod, the official said.
The border region was targeted multiple times, with authorities issuing air raid alerts on three separate occasions overnight. In the wider Belgorod district, four residential buildings and three cars took damage as a result of the strikes on the village of Dubovoe.
Two more Ukrainian airplane-type drones were intercepted over Bryansk Region, governor Aleksandr Bogomaz said, with no injuries or damage reported per preliminary information.
In a separate incident, at least six drones targeted an oil facility near Anapa in Russia’s Krasnodar Region, according to local emergency services. The attack reportedly caused some damage at the facility and triggered a fire, but resulted in no injuries.
