Ukrainian Drone Kills Child, Injures Two in Belgorod Playground

A Ukrainian drone flew over a playground in a Russian border town called Printsevka.

The drone hit the playground and a 13‑year‑old girl was killed while two other children were hurt.

The local governor, Alexander Shavayev, said doctors could not save the girl.

Russia’s children’s rights commissioner, Maria Lvova‑Belova, called the attack a terrible terrorist act by the Kyiv regime.

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Maria Lvova‑Belova and Russian President Vladimir Putin over alleged war crimes.

No comment has come from Ukraine about the incident.

The attack is part of the long‑running war that started in 2022.

It shows how dangerous the fighting is for civilians, especially children.

The incident has drawn criticism from Russian officials and international bodies.
