Ukrainian Drone Attack Leaves Child Dead, Two People Injured in Russia's Belgorod Region

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.
