Russia says Ukraine drone strikes kill one, wound four
Russia said on Thursday that it had intercepted 126 Ukrainian drones in attacks that killed one person and left four civilians wounded. Air defenses shot down 122 drones overnight and four others early in the morning, most of them over regions in Russia's southwest that border Ukraine but also three over the Moscow region, the defense ministry said in a post on Telegram. The strikes killed one woman and wounded a civilian man in the border region of Belgorod, its governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, wrote on Telegram. In the border region of Voronezh, three teens were wounded when falling drone debris struck a building, regional governor Alexander Gusev wrote on Telegram. On Wednesday, Russia fired hundreds of drones, artillery and a ballistic missile at Ukraine, defying US President Donald Trump's calls for Moscow to end the three-year conflict. Trump on Monday called on Russia to reach a peace deal within 50 days or face severe sanctions.

Ukraine's drones target Moscow, other regions, Russia's defence ministry says
Russian air defence units destroyed 122 Ukrainian drones overnight that targeted the capital Moscow and scores of other Russian regions, injuring at least one person, Russian authorities said on Thursday. More than half of the drones were destroyed over the Belgorod, Kursk and Bryansk regions that border Ukraine, the Russian defence ministry said on the Telegram messaging app. Three drones were destroyed over the Moscow region, it added. One person was lightly injured and a civilian facility sustained minor damage in the Smolensk region that borders Belarus, regional Governor Vasily Anokhin, said on Telegram. A Ukrainian drone attack on Wednesday killed three people and injured at least 17 others in the Belgorod region, regional Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said. Reuters could not independently verify the reports. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine. Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of targeting civilians, something both sides deny, in the course of the war, now well into its fourth year.

He said specialists were examining drone fragments at the sites where they hit the ground. Air defenses were in action in other parts of Russia. A Ukrainian drone attack killed one person and injured six in Russia's southern city of Belgorod, regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said. Gladkov said all six injured were being treated in hospital for shrapnel wounds. Six homes suffered damage. Gladkov later reported another drone had injured a resident of a village northeast of Belgorod. Russia's defense ministry said Russian air defense units had destroyed 48 Ukrainian drones over a three-and-a-half-hour period ending at 11:30 p.m. (8:30 p.m. GMT). Twenty-nine of the drones were destroyed over Belgorod region on the Ukrainian border, with a further 16 over Bryansk region, another border region to the west.
