A Ukrainian drone killed an employee of an auto repair shop and injured three others in the southwestern Kursk region, local authorities said Friday.
Kursk region Governor Alexander Khinshtein said the attack took place in an area around 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the border with Ukraine.
Khinshtein said a 25-year-old working at an auto repair shop was killed. Another employee and two customers were hospitalized with shrapnel wounds.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said it shot down an unspecified number of Ukrainian drones in the skies above the Kursk region between Thursday night and Friday morning. Overall, it reported destroying 95 unmanned aircraft across the country.
Meanwhile, in Ukraine, authorities said Friday that a Russian drone strike killed two people at their home in the northeastern Kharkiv region. One other person was injured in the attack.
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.
