Ukrainian drones struck Russia’s Yaroslavl region overnight on May 25, prompting authorities to close the highway out of the city toward Moscow, regional Governor Mikhail Yevrayev said.

One woman sustained what he described as a “minor” shrapnel wound. She declined hospitalization.

The road was reopened by morning.

Ukrainian forces also struck Belgorod and the surrounding district, the regional emergency headquarters reported. A missile hit damaged energy infrastructure, cutting electricity and water supplies; the facade of an administrative building in the city was also damaged.

In the city of Grayvoron, a Ukrainian drone struck a car and killed the driver, the emergency headquarters said.
