TWO DEAD AS UKRAINE STRIKES RUSSIA, OCCUPIED EAST
Read Time:1 Minute, 3 Second
Two people were killed on Thursday when Ukraine attacked the occupied city of Gorlivka in its east and fired a drone at a settlement in Russia’s Belgorod border region, according to local authorities.
Many times, the Kremlin charges Kiev with carrying out random assaults on civilian targets. That is something that Ukraine disputes, saying that it only bombs military targets that are accountable for killing its own civilians.
“An aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicle” crashed into a house in the village of Krasny Vostok in the Belgorod region, destroying the building’s first floor, local governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said.
“To our great grief, there was a victim — the body of a woman was found under the rubble,” he said.
Russia launched a significant ground attack on May 10 in the northeastern Kharkiv region of Ukraine, which is directly across the border from Belgorod.
The Kremlin says its new Kharkiv offensive is aimed at creating a “security zone” to prevent future Ukrainian attacks across its border.
Separately, Ukraine shelled the Russian-held city of Gorlivka in the eastern Donetsk region, killing a civilian in a car, the city’s Russian-installed administration said.
Gorlivka was captured by Russian separatist forces in 2014 and has remained mostly under Moscow’s control since.
