The governor of Russia’s Belgorod region said that two people were killed and four others injured on Friday after Ukraine shelled a town near the border, while officials in nearby regions reported overnight drone attacks.
Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov wrote on Telegram that shelling had struck a section of road in the town of Maslova Pristan, some 15 kilometers (9 miles) from Ukraine’s northern Kharkiv region, and that shell fragments had struck passing cars.
