Ukrainian explosion wounds two Russians

April 5, 2023

According to the Russian news agency TASS, two people were wounded by shrapnel in the aftermath of an explosion on Sunday in the city of Kirievsk, about 220 km south of Moscow.

The agency reported, quoting local police sources, that the explosion was caused by a Ukrainian-made drone “Tu-141” loaded with explosives, which left a crater in the city center of the Tula region.

TASS noted that the explosion did not threaten the safety of residents in the area and that the circumstances of the accident were being investigated.

Tass quoted a representative of the local emergency services as saying that “The explosion occurred at (12:19 GMT).

“There is a hole. This explosion occurred in the heart of the city.. The injuries do not threaten the lives of the injured, and the investigators are still at the site”.

The use of a Ukrainian march in the sky of Moscow comes as a dangerous development in the war between the two sides.
