Russia mentioned it downed two Ukrainian drones flying over border areas on Sunday, after the governor of Belgorod area mentioned a drone carrying explosives had killed a person.
Russia and the Moscow-annexed Crimean peninsula have been hit by a wave of assaults previously month, since Kyiv warned in July it aimed to “return” the battle to Russian territory.
“(During) the night and morning hours… Two unmanned aerial vehicles were detected and destroyed in flight over the territory of the Bryansk and Kursk regions,” Moscow’s defence ministry mentioned.
The governor of Russia’s Kursk area, which lies subsequent to the Ukrainian border, mentioned a drone had crashed into an condo constructing in Kursk metropolis in a single day, blowing out home windows on a number of flooring.
It was not clear whether or not this was one of many drones reportedly shot down by the defence ministry earlier.
“There were no fires, none of the residents were injured,” governor Roman Starovoit mentioned on social media, sharing a picture of what gave the impression to be a charred mark on a tower block.
The assault got here a day after the governor of Russia’s neighbouring Belgorod area mentioned a drone assault killed a person within the village of Shchetinovka, lower than one mile (about two kilometres) from the Ukrainian border.
“The Ukrainian armed forces dropped an explosive device from a drone when the man was on his dacha plot cutting grass,” governor Vyacheslav Gladkov mentioned Saturday night, asserting the person died from shrapnel wounds.
Russian areas bordering Ukraine have commonly accused Kyiv’s armed forces of indiscriminate shelling and occasional cross-border incursions by Ukrainian-backed militants.
Ukraine doesn’t declare duty for particular person assaults on Russian soil and blames the incursions on partisan teams against President Vladimir Putin.
