Russian Drone Attacks Injure Civilians Across Donetsk, Kharkiv, Belgorod Regions

Russian drone attacks have continued to injure civilians and damage infrastructure in Ukraine and Russia despite calls for ceasefires. In Ukraine, a drone attack on railway infrastructure in the Donetsk region injured a freight train locomotive driver, while in Kharkiv Oblast, three civilians were hurt in drone strikes targeting villages and vehicles. Concurrently, Russian border regions like Belgorod have suffered drone attacks attributed to Ukrainian forces, resulting in injuries from explosive devices and damage to vehicles and buildings. These attacks occurred even during declared ceasefires, such as the three-day pause by Russia around May 9, underscoring ongoing hostilities. Regional officials in Belgorod reported multiple injuries from drone strikes in villages including Yasny Zori and Bessonovka, highlighting the cross-border nature of the conflict. Both sides have experienced civilian casualties and infrastructure damage amid persistent drone warfare, complicating efforts for temporary peace.
