[Regnum] The leadership of the Rylsky district of the Kursk region, together with the Bars-Kursk volunteers, is evacuating residents of border settlements due to shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This was reported on the Telegram channel the acting governor of the region, Alexander Khinshtein. "More vile crimes by the Ukrainian junta. Over the past two days, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have attacked the bridge across the Obesta River in the village of Kozino in the Rylsky district, 2 km from the border with Ukraine, several times. The bridge was partially damaged," Khinshtein wrote. It is noted that the residents of Kozino had previously left their homes, but some villagers remain in Gorodishche and the Ryaza farm. The acting governor explained that four had already been evacuated. "Unfortunately, despite all the threats, some residents refuse to leave. We do not have the right to forcibly evict them, so the authorities record people's refusals on video, explaining the danger they are exposing themselves to," Khinshtein added. In any case, the acting governor of the Kursk region assured, the task of the authorities is to ensure the possibility of leaving and to help everyone. The work on evacuating the population continues, said Alexander Khinshtein. As reported by the Regnum news agency, air defense units destroyed 36 Ukrainian drones in the skies over five regions of Russia on the night of April 12. Over the Kursk region, 18 Ukrainian drones were detected and shot down. On April 11, Alexander Khinshtein reported that Ukrainian drones had attacked 16 houses, six cars, and a school in the Kursk region. There were no casualties or serious damage. The acting governor called on residents of the region to observe safety measures and remain vigilant. |
