A Ukrainian soldier passes by a burning house after the Russian shelling close to the front line in Seversk, Donetsk region, Ukraine on Friday, Sept. 1, 2023.KYIV, Ukraine—Russia said Saturday its forces destroyed three Ukrainian naval drones being used in an attempt to attack a key bridge linking Russia to the Moscow-annexed Crimean Peninsula, forcing its temporary closure for a third time in less than a year.
An explosion in October, which Russian authorities said was caused by a truck bomb, left three people dead. A further attack on the bridge in July, killing a couple and seriously wounding their daughter, left a span of the roadway hanging perilously. A woman was also wounded Saturday during shelling of a village in the neighboring Kursk region, also bordering Ukraine, regional Gov. Roman Starovoit said. He blamed Ukraine for the shelling.
The Ukrainian military said in a regular update Saturday that over the previous 24 hours, Russia had launched four missile strikes and 39 airstrikes, in addition to 42 attacks from multiple rocket launchers. A missile hit an apartment on the first floor of a multistory building in the eastern city of Kramatorsk but there were no casualties, Donetsk regional Gov. Pavlo Kyrylenko said.
