VORONEZH. July 13 (Interfax) - The village of Yelizavetovka in the Glushkovo district, Kursk region, has come under attack from Ukraine, regional governor Roman Starovoit said on Thursday.
"Fortunately, no one was hurt. We counted four [shell] hits in total. As a result, a small fire broke out in one house, and two others had their windows smashed and suffered damage to their exteriors and fences," Starovoit said on Telegram.
Emergency teams will begin repairs once it becomes safe to do so, he added.
In addition, a Ukrainian drone was intercepted in the region's Sudzha district, the governor said.
"Our border guards in the Sudzha district downed a hostile EW [electronic warfare] drone. It blew up when it hit the ground. There were no casualties or damage," Starovoit said.
A yellow (high) terrorist alert level has been in place in the Kursk region since April 11, 2022. The region borders Ukraine and has repeatedly come under fire.
