The official added that Ukrainian forces attacked three settlements in the Belgorod region with drones.
“Three settlements in the Belgorod region were attacked by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. To great sorrow, one civilian was killed in Shebekino as a result of a drone attack on an apartment block. The woman died due to her injuries on the spot before medics arrived. I offer my deepest condolences to the family and close ones of the deceased,” Gladkov wrote on Telegram.
An attack with three drones damaged the glazing and interior decoration of flats in two apartment buildings, the governor said, adding that another two drones hit two private houses, setting the roofs on fire.
The fires in the houses have been extinguished, the governor said.
“In the Belgorod district, in the village of Saltykovo, an FPV [first person view] drone attacked a bus of an agricultural enterprise. The driver and passengers were not injured, the vehicle was damaged,” Gladkov said.
In the village of Petrovka, a drone hit a passenger car, causing the vehicle to completely burn up, he said, adding that there was no one in the car at the time of the attack.
Russian officials have repeatedly stressed that deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure exposes the criminal and terrorist nature of the Kiev regime. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova earlier said that war crimes have become a “trademark of Zelensky's criminal group.”
