Another Russian village was attacked from Ukraine early on Tuesday, the governor of the southwestern Belgorod Region Vyacheslav Gladkov has claimed.
The settlement of Golovchino, located some 10km from the Ukrainian border, was targeted, the governor announced on his Telegram channel. A local woman was wounded in the attack and is now “receiving all necessary medical assistance,” he wrote.
The shelling “caused destruction” in the village – with a population of more than 4,700 people – and the full extent of the damage now being evaluated, Gladkov added.
Several areas in Russia’s border regions of Belgorod and Bryansk have come under Ukrainian fire in the past week. The worst attack took place last Thursday in Klimovo, Bryansk Region, where eight people – including a two-year-old boy and his pregnant mother – were injured. According to the Russian side, it was carried out by two Ukrainian helicopters, which had violated the country’s airspace.
