Russian authorities in the Belgorod Region have reported that three civilians were injured over the past day in drone attacks attributed to Ukrainian forces. The regional emergency response center provided details of the incidents, which included shrapnel wounds and damage to residential and social infrastructure.

Coverage comparison

Reporting on the incidents comes from TASS, the Russian state news agency, which has carried two accounts of the attacks. One report, dated July 24, describes a separate incident in the village of Kazachya, where two civilians died and two others were wounded in what local authorities called a missile attack. A later report, dated August 3, covers drone attacks across several municipalities, with three civilians injured and no fatalities mentioned. The two reports are not contradictory; they describe different events on different dates.
