Vyacheslav Gladkov, the governor of Russia’s Belgorod region, said that Russian air defenses repelled 10 “aerial targets” in the area on Thursday. Two people were reported hospitalized with injuries from falling debris.

Explosions from the collisions shattered windows in multiple buildings and damaged more than 30 vehicles.
