MOSCOW, March 10, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Ukrainian shelling of a Russian border 
village in the Kursk region killed one woman on Sunday, the local governor 
said on social media. 

Kyiv has shelled Russian border villages for months as Moscow's offensive in 
Ukraine drags on for more than two years, also sending drones into Russian 
territory, including far from the border.

Kursk governor Roman Starovoyt said Kyiv's forces had shelled the village of 
Kulbaki, some 10 kilometres (six miles) from the Ukraine border. 

"As a result of a direct hit from a shell, a residential building caught fire 
and a local woman died. Her husband had extensive burns and is now receiving 
qualified medical care," he said. 

Starovoyt later said that a Ukrainian drone fell on an oil depot in the city 
of Kursk.

Russia's defence ministry also said it had destroyed two Ukrainian drones 
over the border Belgorod region. 

On Saturday, Moscow said it had destroyed 47 Ukrainian drones over its 
southern regions.
