Russia downs drone in south, at least three dead - regional governor

Three people were killed, including a young child, and two injured when debris from a destroyed drone fell on homes in Russia’s Belgorod region, a local official says.

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, and the falling debris had destroyed several homes.“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.
