Belgorod, Russia: One killed and five injured by Ukrainian drones in the region

During a drone strike on a car in the village of Golovchino in the Grayvoron district, a driver suffered a closed head injury, shrapnel wounds to his legs and hands, and a broken nose, while his passenger died during the attack, as Governor Gladkov noted the car burned out completely, while the windows of a private house and outbuilding were damaged by the blast wave.

Gladkov later confirmed that the 23-year-old man who had been killed was Vitaly Sokolov, who was in the same car as the previous victim about who the Governor of Belgorod reported.

A man suffered a mine-explosive injury and barotrauma when a drone hit a car in the village of Voznesnovka, and a married couple suffered mine-explosive injuries and barotrauma after a drone hit their car between the villages of Bochkovka and Nechaevka in the Belgorod district.

Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov also confirmed that a man was admitted to hospital having suffered a mine-explosive injury and a blind shrapnel wound to his leg in a drone attack on a car in the village of Krasny Yar.

Speaking about the drone attacks on the border regions, Gladkov asked residents not to wear any camouflage uniforms, because it would mean they’d become a target for drones.

Gladkov said: “I would like to address all residents of our frontline, border municipalities, those who lived especially in the 25km zone, or those who come to the frontline territory for official or other reasons.

“Please, dear friends, ideally, you should not wear camouflage, military or green uniforms, because recently, attacks by unmanned aerial vehicles, FPV drones on residents who wear camouflage military uniforms have become more frequent,” Gladkov added.
