Separately, governor of the Kursk region which also shares a border with Ukraine said that a railway bridge had been damaged
on a line used by freight trains.
Speaking in a video posted on his Telegram channel, governor Roman Starovoit called the incident an act of sabotage.
Russia last month accused Ukraine of a helicopter attack on a fuel depot in Belgorod, for which Kyiv denied responsibility, as well as shelling villages and firing missiles at an ammunition depot.
Other Russian regions that share a border with Ukraine have also reported cross-border shelling incidents since Moscow sent thousands of troops into Ukraine on February 24 in what it called a “special military operation.”
