A woman was killed and a 12-year-old girl injured in the Belgorod region following a drone attack on June 1st. The attack, part of a series of drone incursions across several Russian regions, also caused significant property damage.

The governor of the Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, reported that a private house in the village of Proletarsky was completely destroyed by a direct shell hit. Rescuers recovered the body of a woman from the rubble. A 12-year-old girl, who was nearby on a bicycle at the time of the explosion, sustained injuries and was transported to a hospital. She is believed to have suffered a concussion. Emergency services personnel, along with self-defense units and volunteers, are currently working at the scene.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that its air defense systems intercepted numerous drones across multiple regions between 8:10 PM and 9:45 PM. A total of 53 drones were reportedly shot down, with 34 over the Kursk region, 14 over the Belgorod region, 4 over the Bryansk region, and 1 over the Oryol region.

Authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant and report any drone sightings immediately by calling 112. When reporting a drone sighting, individuals should provide their name, address, and a detailed description of the drone, including its appearance, sound, and behavior. The public is also advised to leave the area where the drone was detected and warn others if possible. If a drone is found on the ground, it should not be approached or touched, and authorities should be notified immediately.
