A border crossing and nearby village came under mortar fire on Thursday
Seven people, including a pregnant woman and a child, were injured on Thursday in shelling that targeted a village in Russia, located close to the border with Ukraine, local officials claimed. A separate attack targeting a nearby border crossing was reported by its guards.
The first incident happened in Klimovo, in Russia’s Bryansk Region, some 10km north of the frontier. Projectiles fired by Ukrainian troops hit residential buildings, Governor Aleksandr Bogomaz explained.
Seven people were reported injured in the incident by health officials. A list of victims published by Russian media said a two-year-old boy, a 74-year-old woman, and a 35-year-old man were seriously hurt during the shelling. A later update by the Health Ministry said the toddler’s injuries were moderate rather than serious. The baby’s 25-year-old pregnant mother was also among the victims.
