Three people were killed in a Ukrainian drone strike in Russia’s Belgorod region bordering Ukraine on Wednesday, regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on the Telegram messaging platform.
“Three civilians were killed in the village of Lavy, in the Valuysk district,” Gladkov wrote.
“Ukrainian armed forces dropped an explosive device from a ‘drone’ when people were on the street,” it added.
The mayor of Moscow had already stated this morning that the Russian air defense had shot down two ‘drones’ in Moscow and in the region of the capital, targeted for the sixth consecutive day of attacks.
“Last night [terça-feira], the air defense shot down a “drone” in the Mozhaiski district of the Moscow region. The second ‘drone’ hit a building under construction in the city,” said Sergei Sobyanin on the Telegram messaging platform, adding that, according to the first reports, there were no victims.
The Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported an “explosion” in the commercial district of the city of Moscow.
Air traffic at Moscow’s Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo and Vnukovo international airports was even affected, TASS reported.
Russian territory has been targeted by drone strikes on an almost daily basis. In the early hours of Tuesday, two planes were shot down over the Moscow region, specifically in Krasnogorsk, northwest of the capital, where the windows of a building were destroyed.
During the summer, planes were destroyed over the business district of Moscow, and in May two “drones” were shot down near the Kremlin.
