Russian troops launched seven missiles from Belgorod region and the Black Sea at targets in Ukraine on April 20, the Ukrainian Air Force reported.<\/p>\n
Two Kinzhal guided air missiles were destroyed by the Ukraine’s air-defense systems, the air force said, adding it had also shot down three Russian reconnaissance drones.<\/p>\n
Russia in recent weeks has drastically increased the number of missile and drone attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure amid dwindling Ukrainian stocks of air-defense systems and ammunition, causing large numbers of civilian casualties and extensive damage.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Russia’s Defense Ministry said that its air-defense systems shot down 50 Ukrainian drones over eight Russian regions on April 20.<\/p>\n
Over Belgorod region, 26 drones were downed, 10 were destroyed over Bryansk region, eight over Kursk region, two over Tula, and one each over Smolensk, Ryazan, Kaluga, and Moscow regions.<\/p>\n
In a village in Belgorod, two people died in a fire ignited by falling debris, Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov wrote on Telegram.<\/p>\n
Ukraine has not commented and the claims could not be independently verified.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
