Three killed in Belgorod hours after drones hit Moscow
A drone attack on Russia’s Belgorod region has killed three people, hours after another drone hit central Moscow, Russian officials say.
Belgorod’s Governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, blamed Kyiv for the attack on the region, near Ukraine’s border.
“Ukrainian forces launched an explosive device through a drone while people were on the street,” he claimed.
Kyiv has not claimed responsibility for either incident, but it rarely comments on attacks inside Russia.
Hours after the first drone attack which killed three in Belgorod, a second drone was destroyed over the region, the Russian Defence Ministry said.
As well as the drone strikes on Belgorod, drones were also reported in Moscow, where a building that was under construction was hit, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said.
Air defences also shot down two drones earlier in the Mozhaisk and Khimki districts of the Moscow region, the defence ministry added. No casualties were reported. —BBC
