Kamikaze Drone Strikes in Belgorod Kill Two, Injure Four

Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov of Russia’s Belgorod Region reported two civilian deaths and four injuries Sunday following Ukrainian drone strikes across the region.

A kamikaze drone struck a vehicle carrying a married couple and their son in the village of Nechyaevka, according to the governor. The father and son were killed at the scene; the mother was hospitalized.

In Gubkin, a teenage girl and a young man sustained injuries when a drone attacked a commercial building where they had parked their car outside. The girl remains hospitalized with a brain injury and is in critical condition. Another woman was injured in a separate strike within Belgorod city. The governor stated nearly a dozen residential buildings were damaged.

Ukraine has intensified attacks deep inside Russia recently, launching over 600 drones from Friday to Saturday. On Monday, a kamikaze drone struck a residential skyscraper near Moscow’s business district.

Russia accused Ukraine of deliberately targeting civilians with Western-supplied weapons and last month published what it claimed was a list of European companies manufacturing drones for Kyiv, warning their backers could face further escalation.
