Three civilians wounded in Ukrainian shelling

Three civilians were wounded in the attack, Vyacheslav Gladkov reported.

The governor of the southwestern Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, claimed that another Russian village was attacked from Ukraine early on Tuesday.

The settlement of Golovchino, located some 10 km from the Ukrainian border, was targeted, the governor announced on his Telegram channel.

Three people were hurt in the attack and were rushed to the hospital, he wrote. One of them has already been discharged after receiving treatment, while two other women are still in medical care.

Gladkov said that the shelling affected 30 residential buildings in the village. The windows were smashed, with damage to roofs, fences and parked cars being caused by the damage.

The governor said repair work will begin on Tuesday, and he promises to restore electricity and gas supply to the settlement with a population of more than 4,700 people.

Several areas in Russia's border regions of Bryansk and Belgorod have been hit by Ukrainian fire in the past week. The worst attack took place last Thursday in Klimovo, Bryansk Region, where eight people including a two-year-old boy and his pregnant mother were injured. According to the Russian side, two Ukrainian helicopters were carried out which had violated the country's airspace.

Kiev hasn't confirmed nor denied its involvement in those incidents. Moscow has responded to them by intensifying missile strikes on military targets inside Ukraine. It warned that it would hit decision-making centers, including Kiev, if attacks on Russian territory continue.

Russia sent troops into the neighboring state in late February, after Ukraine failed to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, first signed in 2014, and Moscow s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The German and French protocols were designed to give the breakaway regions special status within the Ukrainian state.

The Kremlin has since demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev insists that the Russian offensive was unprovoked and has denied that it plans to retake the two republics by force.
