Russia: Russia accuses Ukraine of shelling its Bryansk region, Kyiv rejects claim
Authorities in Russia’s Bryansk region bordering Ukraine have accused Kyiv of shelling the Russian town of Klimovo and allegedly causing casualties, while the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (RNBO) rejected the accusations, calling them “an attempt to ignite anti-Ukraine hysteria in Russia.”
The Bryansk region’s governor, Aleksandr Bogomaz, said on April 14 that two buildings were damaged in the attack, which he said was conducted by the armed forces of Ukraine.
Medical personnel at Klimovo’s central hospital told the Russian news agency TASS that seven people, including a pregnant woman and a child, were wounded.
Russia’s Investigative Committee said the attack was conducted by two Ukrainian military helicopters, adding that it has launched a criminal case into the attack.
