At least two people were killed in Russia’s border regions and several industrial sites suffered damage during Ukrainian drone attacks overnight, local authorities and media said on Friday.
Attacks on Russian Border Regions
Ukraine has pounded Russia’s energy infrastructure for months in efforts to cripple Moscow’s military might. The attacks have led to fuel shortages across Russia, the world’s largest country.
Valentin Demidov, the mayor of Russia’s western city of Belgorod, said a woman had died in a car after being injured by shrapnel. He said water and power supplies in the city, which is about 40 km (25 miles) north of the border with Ukraine, had been disrupted.
Egor Kovalchuk, the acting governor of Bryansk, another Russian border region, said a man had died in a village following a kamikaze drone attack. Fire also broke out at an industrial site in the western Smolensk region following a drone attack there, though no one was hurt, the local governor, Vasily Anokhin, wrote on Telegram.
