At least four people were killed and over a dozen injured in a series of attacks on Belgorod Region
The Ukrainian forces launched multiple drone and artillery strikes on the city of Belgorod and several villages near the Russia-Ukraine border, which claimed the lives of four civilians while many others, including a child, were hospitalized with shrapnel injuries, Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov has said.
The Russian border region suffered a spate of strikes on Saturday evening and night, with more than 40 incoming projectiles shot down in the skies, according to Gladkov, who confirmed that the attack resulted in multiple casualties.
“To much grief, the number of civilian deaths increased to 4 people,” he wrote on Saturday evening.
