2 killed, 5 hurt in Ukrainian drone strike on Russia's Bryansk region
Russia's Bryansk regional governor said a Ukrainian drone hit a private home in the settlement of Klimovo, killing 2 people and injuring 5.
A Ukrainian drone strike killed 2 people and injured 5 at a private home in the settlement of Klimovo, in Russia's Bryansk region, the regional governor said, according to Greek broadcaster ERT News.
The governor said Russian forces destroyed 29 Ukrainian drones over the region in the preceding 24 hours, without giving further detail on the circumstances of the strike that hit the house.
Two other Greek outlets, SigmaLive and Naftemporiki, also reported the governor's account, though Naftemporiki's version of the report cited only the 2 deaths without mentioning the injury figure.
No further details on the time of the strike, the type of drone involved or the identities of those killed and injured were given in the reports reviewed.
Bryansk, which borders Ukraine, has repeatedly reported Ukrainian drone strikes during the war. Russian officials there regularly publish figures on drones they say their forces have intercepted, as in this case, alongside reports of strikes that get through.
