Two People Killed, Three Injured in Ukrainian Shelling of Russia's Belgorod - Governor
"Unfortunately, two people died: a man and a woman. The man was driving a truck when he was hit by a shell, after which the car crashed into a passenger bus. The residents [inside the bus] were not injured. Another woman died in a garage cooperative, where she and her son came to feed the dogs," the governor said.
Medics are fighting for the life of the deceased woman's son who suffered shrapnel wounds to the back of his head, shoulder and chest, Gladkov added. Two more men suffered close head injuries and their condition is satisfactory, he noted, specifying that all the victims were hospitalized.
Ukrainian militants regularly shell Russian territories, including the Belgorod region and new regions that joined Russia in the fall of 2022. Ukrainian troops use kamikaze drones to attack civilian infrastructure, including residential buildings and hospitals. Russian authorities are crystal clear on the matter – Ukraine has resorted to “deliberate terrorist attacks” while Western backers of the Kiev regime are turning a blind eye on Ukrainian tactics.
