Woman killed in ‘barbaric’ Ukrainian drone strike – governor
A Ukrainian drone strike on a moving civilian vehicle killed a woman in Bryansk Region, Russia, Governor Aleksandr Bogomaz reported on Friday.
The attack was one of several conducted overnight by Kiev. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that it downed 138 Ukrainian UAVs across multiple regions, including Bryansk, Rostov, Kaluga, Novgorod, Belgorod, and Moscow.
“Ukrainian terrorists carried out a targeted strike with an FPV drone on a moving civilian vehicle in the village of Novi Yurkovichi, Klymovsky District,” Bogomaz said in a statement on Telegram. He expressed condolences to the victim’s family and vowed to provide them with all necessary support and financial assistance.
In the city of Krasnogorsk in Moscow Region, another Ukrainian drone hit a residential high-rise, injuring at least five people, including a child. Governor Andrey Vorobyov reported that the UAV crashed into an apartment on the 14th floor at around 2am local time.
Kiev has routinely launched drone raids deep into Russia in recent months, targeting critical infrastructure and residential areas, often leading to civilian casualties. Russian officials have accused Ukraine of “terrorism,” and Moscow has responded with strikes on the country’s military facilities.
