At least one person was killed and two others were wounded Wednesday afternoon in a series of Ukrainian drone attacks in the western Belgorod region.
A woman died in a district bordering Ukraine’s Sumy and Kharkiv regions when a drone struck the vehicle she was traveling in, regional officials said. A male passenger in the same vehicle was hospitalized with injuries.
In a separate attack elsewhere in the region, another woman sustained injuries requiring hospitalization, and several residential homes were damaged.
The Belgorod region, which directly borders northeastern Ukraine, has been subject to near-daily drone and artillery strikes since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office has designated The Moscow Times as an “undesirable” organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a “foreign agent.”
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work “discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership.” We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It’s quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you’re defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
