Two individuals lost their lives in the southwestern Belgorod region when a Ukrainian drone crashed into their residence, igniting a fire, local officials reported on Monday.

According to Belgorod region Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov, first responders discovered the bodies of the victims upon their arrival at the location, shortly after he initially reported the drone strike that occurred overnight.

Gladkov shared an image showing the home in Stary Oskol, a city home to about 220,000 residents and located approximately 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the northeastern Ukrainian border, surrounded by flames and smoke.

Russia’s Defense Ministry stated that its air defense systems intercepted 22 Ukrainian drones over the Belgorod region from Sunday night to Monday morning. Additionally, several drones were also intercepted in the Krasnodar, Rostov, Kursk, Bryansk, and Astrakhan regions.

Officials in the Krasnodar and Bryansk regions reported property damage and injuries resulting from the drone attacks.

During these incidents, at least five airports in southern Russia were temporarily closed.

Both Ukraine and Russia frequently engage in drone and missile strikes against each other’s territories, with Ukrainian officials defending their actions as a response to Russia’s ongoing invasion and occupation of Ukrainian land.
