MOSCOW, Sept 21 (Reuters) – Ukrainian attacks on Russia’s border Belgorod region killed three people and injured nine, the regional governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said on Telegram on Sunday.
One woman died when a shell hit a private house in the settlement of Shebekino, near the border.
One man was killed in a drone attack on Rakitnoe, farther north in the region, he said. In a later report, Gladkov said one person was killed and five injured when a drone struck a car in another village in the same district.
The Belgorod region has come under regular attack from Kyiv’s forces since Russia ordered tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in February 2022.
In Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, the Russia-appointed governor of areas held by Russian troops, Yevgeny Balitsky, said Ukrainian shelling killed one person and injured 14, including an infant, in a town on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River.
Reuters could not independently verify battlefield accounts by either side.
