Russia's Belgorod region, pounded by Ukrainian shelling and drones, is expanding its closure of schools and colleges amid a major evacuation plan.
A Russian border region being pounded by Ukrainian shelling and drones is expanding its closure of schools and colleges amid a major evacuation plan, authorities announced Wednesday, as Kyiv’s forces extend their campaign of long-range strikes that aim to put the Kremlin under pressure. Ukraine lacks ammunition supplies along the 620-mile front line because of a shortfall in promised Western supplies, which is one of the main factors forcing its army to take a more defensive stance.
Gladkov, the governor, said that three people were killed and two others were wounded, including a 17-year-old girl, in “massive shelling” of Belgorod city, the regional capital. He said that 16 people have been killed over the past week alone. In another possible sign of Kyiv’s strategy, Ukrainian drones targeted the city of Engels, about 500 miles east of the border with Ukraine in the Saratov region. An air base for strategic bombers is near the city.
