On Sunday, Russia experienced yet another barrage of Ukrainian drones and artillery fire, resulting in injuries to three individuals and necessitating the diversion of flights at an airport, according to officials.

Since Ukraine initiated its counteroffensive in early June, regions in Russia have repeatedly alleged that Kyiv’s armed forces have carried out almost daily drone attacks and shelling directed at civilian areas.

“On Sunday morning, the armed forces of Ukraine shelled the area of the central market in Shebekino,” said Vyacheslav Gladkov, governor of Russia’s Belgorod region bordering Ukraine, The Moscow Times reported.

“According to preliminary information, there are three victims — a woman suffered shrapnel wounds to the neck… Two other men suffered shrapnel wounds to their legs,” he said.

The governor of the Bryansk region, situated along the border, reported that Ukrainian shelling had caused damage to residences and two administrative structures in a village.

Fortunately, there were no casualties.

These incidents occurred concurrently with reports stating that five drones were successfully intercepted over the Smolensk region, located to the west of Moscow.

Additionally, another drone was brought down over the Krasnodar region along the Black Sea coast.
