MOSCOW (Sputnik) - A Ukrainian strike has killed at least two civilians and has completely destroyed one residential building, Russia's Bryansk Region Governor Alexander Bogomaz said.
"Unfortunately, two civilians were killed as a result of the strike inflicted by the Ukrainian Nazis. According to preliminary data, one residential building was completely destroyed, two more buildings have partial damage," Bogomaz said on Telegram late on Saturday night.
The governor added that emergency services are working on the scene.
It was further noted that Ukrainian forces had targeted a village in the Suzemsky district past midnight when the civilians were killed. The town sits roughly 10 kilometers from the scene.
"The Ukrainian armed forces have once again shelled the village of Suzemsky with the help of MLRS. The air defense system of the armed forces of the Russian Federation shot down several rockets," Bogomaz said. "There were no casualties. One residential building was partially destroyed."
Several regions bordering Ukraine have regularly come under fire since the start of Russia's special military operation; in fact, in early March tensions were kicked up when a group of Ukrainian nationalists bypassed the border and shelled a moving car and killed two people and injured a 10-year-old boy.
