Two killed in Russia as debris from downed Ukrainian drone destroys homes

At least two people were killed and two injured when debris from a destroyed Ukrainian drone fell on homes in Russia's Belgorod region, according to a local official. Belgorod regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said early on Thursday that Russian air defences shot down an "aircraft-type" unmanned aerial vehicle as it approached Belgorod city. "To great sorrow, there are dead. Operational services recovered the bodies of two people from the rubble – a man and a woman," Gladkov wrote on the Telegram messaging app. "As a result of falling debris, a private residential building caught fire," Gladkov said, adding later that the falling debris had completely destroyed one residential building, and partially damaged two others.
