Kiev, Sept 1, (dpa/GNA) – At least five people have been injured in a Ukrainian attack on the southern Russian region of Belgorod, according to Governor Vyakheslav Gladkov on Saturday.
Gladkov said several grenades hit a section of road between Belgorod and Shebekino, injuring four people and damaging several vehicles.
In the nearby village of Voznesenkovka, a woman was reportedly injured when a drone struck a private house. The information could not be independently verified.
The Ukrainian army has started using artillery and drones to target sites across the border in the southern Russian region of Belgorod, after Moscow’s forces launched an offensive against the north-eastern city of Kharkiv in the summer.
Russia also regularly targets civilian sites in Ukraine, with Kharkiv, just 30 kilometres from the border, among the cities most frequently subject to shelling.
