MOSCOW, Russia -- Russia said it downed two Ukrainian drones flying over border regions on Sunday, after the governor of Belgorod region said a drone carrying explosives had killed a man.
Russia and the Moscow-annexed Crimean peninsula have been hit by a wave of attacks in the past month, since Kyiv warned in July it aimed to"return" the conflict to Russian territory.
The governor of Russia's Kursk region, which lies next to the Ukrainian border, said a drone had crashed into an apartment building in Kursk city overnight, blowing out windows on several floors. "There were no fires, none of the residents were injured," governor Roman Starovoit said on social media, sharing an image of what appeared to be a charred mark on a tower block.
"The Ukrainian armed forces dropped an explosive device from a drone when the man was on his dacha plot cutting grass," governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said Saturday evening, announcing the man died from shrapnel wounds.
