Two people were killed and 13 others wounded as Ukraine unleashed a drone barrage on the Russian border city of Belgorod, Russian authorities said Sunday.
Over the past 24 hours, acting Belgorod regional governor Alexander Shuvaev said there had been 154 Ukrainian attacks across the region, with Belgorod city hit particularly hard overnight.
"Belgorod last night was subjected to a massive drone attack," Belgorod mayor Valentin Demidov said on social media.
Two men were killed in the city of Belgorod, including one who died of his injuries in hospital, while 13 people there were injured, authorities said.
Demidov said he was visiting the affected sites and that there had been "significant damage" to residential properties and vehicles. "Social and commercial facilities" had also been damaged, he added.
He posted images from the city center, showing apartment buildings and vehicles in flames. Shuvaev said Ukrainian attacks had also targeted other parts of the Belgorod region.
Two men had been killed in attacks in the Shebekinsky and Grayvoron districts, while another five were wounded across the region, including a 17-year-old, he said.
On the Ukrainian side, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian strikes killed four people on Saturday evening in the Dnipro region. Another 22 people were injured, including an 11-year-old girl, he said.
And early Sunday in Vinnytsia, in the center of the country, authorities said six people were wounded when a Russian drone struck a five-storey residential building, destroying four apartments.
"A private retirement home was also damaged," regional governor Natalia Zabolotna said on Telegram.
The Ukrainian air force said Russia had launched 153 drones from several southwestern regions overnight.
At least 119 of those drones had been "shot down or suppressed," it said.
