At least one person has been killed and eight others wounded in a Ukrainian attack on the Russian region of Belgorod on the border with Ukraine, the territory’s governor Vyacheslav Gladkov announced on his Telegram account.
«Eight people were wounded, seven are now in hospital and one of them is in intensive care,» he has let it be known in the message, picked up by TASS agency.
The deceased has been identified as a contractor in the construction of a workshop for a local poultry farm, according to the governor. Another shell hit a house where two children were playing, but they escaped unharmed, he added.
The regions of Belgorod and its neighbor to the north, Kursk, have repeatedly denounced attacks by the Ukrainian army as part of the invasion launched on the orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin at the end of February.
Both localities have been at «yellow» (high) regional terrorist threat level since the beginning of the war.
