A five-year-old boy died of burns
sustained in a Ukrainian drone strike on a beach in the Russian
city of Kursk, the regional governor said, raising the death
toll in the attack to four.
Alexander Khinshtein, writing on Telegram on Wednesday, said
the boy had suffered burns over 30% of his body in the attack on
Tuesday and died while being transported to Moscow for
treatment.
Khinshtein had earlier said that three people, including a
member of Russia's National Guard, were killed in the strike.
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 said this year all Kyiv's
forces have been ejected from the region, but Ukrainian
officials say their troops are still carrying out operations.
