Boy dies from injuries in Ukrainian drone strike on Russian beach: Reports
A five-year-old boy has died from burns sustained in a Ukrainian drone strike on a beach in the Russian city of Kursk, the regional governor said, raising the death toll from the attack to four.
Alexander Khinshtein wrote on Telegram Wednesday that the boy had suffered burns over 30 percent of his body during Tuesday's strike and died while being transported to Moscow for treatment.
Khinshtein had earlier reported that three people, including a member of Russia's National Guard, were killed in the same attack.
There has been no comment from Ukrainian officials on the incident.
Ukrainian forces staged a large incursion into the Kursk region nearly a year ago. The Kremlin has since claimed all Ukrainian troops have been ejected, though Ukrainian officials say their forces are still conducting operations in the area.
