Moscow, Feb 6 (EFE).- At least three Russian civilians, including a child, were killed on Thursday in a Ukrainian drone attack in Belgorod region in Russia, local authorities reported.<\/p>
“Three people were killed as a result of an attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces near the village of Logachyovka,” Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on his Telegram channel.<\/p>
“According to preliminary data, a drone dropped an explosive device on a passenger car. At the time of the attack, inside the vehicle were a man and two girls, aged 18 and 14. They died on the spot,” he added.<\/p>
Logachyovka, a village with fewer than 400 residents before the war, is located right on the border with Ukraine.<\/p>
Gladkov said that the attack occurred in a region that has been under a “state of emergency” since October 2022 due to sporadic Ukrainian strikes.<\/p>
“Therefore, I once again urge all residents to avoid localities that have been closed by order of the operational headquarters,” he added.<\/p>
Ukrainian forces have increased cross-border attacks in Russian border regions, particularly since launching an incursion into the Kursk region in August 2024.<\/p>
Ukraine and Russia have increasingly relied on drones and guided missiles against each other in the ongoing conflict, which began in February 2022. EFE <\/p>
