Ukrainian Rocket Attack on Belgorod Kills At Least 6
Another four people were wounded in the overnight strike, local authorities said, with a 14-year-old being among them.
In the early hours of Monday, a Ukrainian rocket attack struck the village of Koloskovo, situated approximately 24 kilometers from the border with Ukraine in the Belgorod region of western Russia, leaving at least six individuals dead and four wounded, according to local authorities. Acting Belgorod region Governor Aleksander Shuvaev reported that a 14-year-old was among those injured.
The attack resulted in damage to a structure and a vehicle. Additionally, in the southern Astrakhan region, a drone strike claimed the life of a woman. While the drones were reportedly aimed at an industrial facility, the authorities did not provide additional information. This series of attacks occurred following a day of exchanges between Russia and Ukraine, where both sides targeted deep within each other's territories, resulting in the death of 19 people on both sides.
The Russian Defense Ministry claimed to have intercepted 205 Ukrainian drones across Russia and annexed Crimea between Sunday night and Monday morning. In response to these incidents, several airports in southern Russia implemented temporary flight restrictions. The Moscow Times, under the pressure of recent actions by Russian authorities, stated that they remain committed to providing unbiased reporting, despite being labeled as an undesirable organization and being classified as a foreign agent. They appeal to the public for support to continue their work.
