A Ukrainian drone attack killed one

person and injured six in Russia's southern city of Belgorod,

regional Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said early on Thursday.



Gladkov said all six injured were being treated in hospital

for shrapnel wounds. Six homes suffered damage.



Russia's Defence Ministry said Russian air defence units had

destroyed 48 Ukrainian drones over a 3-1/2-hour period ending at

11.30 p.m. (2030 GMT).



Twenty-nine of the drones were destroyed over Belgorod

region on the Ukrainian border, with a further 16 over Bryansk

region, another border region to the west.



Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of targeting

civilians, something both sides deny, in the course of the war,

now well into its fourth year.
