Ukrainian shelling targets Russia's Belgorod and Kursk regions, Russian governors say
From CNN’s Olga Voitovych and Jake Kwon
The neighboring regions of Belgorod and Kursk in southwestern Russia were attacked by shelling from across their borders with Ukraine, Russian officials claimed Wednesday.
In a statement on Telegram, Belgorod Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov said the shelling lasted more than an hour as Ukrainian forces fired 12 shells from "Grad" multiple rocket launchers.
“The air defense system shot down three targets approaching the town and an unmanned aerial vehicle,” Gladkov said.
One woman suffered a shrapnel wound to her chest, he added.
Homes in both regions and a school in Kursk were damaged, according to their governors.
CNN cannot independently verify the claims.
Remember: Attacks on Russian soil, particularly in regions bordering Ukraine, have increased in recent months as the effects of the Kremlin's war reverberate onto its own territory. On Tuesday, Russia's defense ministry said it intercepted five Ukrainian drones near Moscow in what it called a "terrorist" attack.
