MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Since the beginning of Russia's military operation in Ukraine in 2022, the Belgorod region has been a frequent target of Ukrainian attacks. These attacks intensified in August 2024, coinciding with heightened border clashes between Russian and Ukrainian forces, as Kiev pushed its offensive into the neighboring Kursk region.
A Ukrainian drone attack on an apartment building in Russia’s Belgorod Region has killed a nine-year-old child and injured a woman and an infant, Belgorod Region Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on Saturday.
"In the village of Maisky, as a result of a drone attack on an apartment building, the worst thing happened—a nine-year-old child died. The boy's mother and the second seven-month-old child, who were also in the house at the time of the attack, were wounded. A girl with a concussion is being taken by the emergency medical service team to the children's regional hospital. Her mother, with a leg injury and soft tissue damage, is being transported by ambulance to City Hospital 2 of Belgorod. All necessary assistance is being provided. The father was not injured," Gladkov said on Telegram.
Russian officials repeatedly slammed Ukrainian drone attacks on civilian infrastructure as pure acts of terrorism that highlight the criminal nature of Kiev regime.
