Russian police have launched a terrorism investigation following a drone attack by Ukrainian forces in the Kursk border region, which injured a Chinese journalist. The incident has sparked diplomatic tensions, with the Chinese Foreign Ministry expressing deep concern over the security implications. The attack, which occurred near the Russian-Ukrainian border, marks the latest escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two nations.
According to Russian state media, the drone strike targeted a military checkpoint, resulting in casualties and damage to infrastructure. The Chinese journalist, whose identity has not been officially disclosed, was reportedly in the area to report on the war’s impact. The incident has raised questions about the safety of foreign journalists in conflict zones and the potential for increased cross-border attacks.
The Chinese government has called for an immediate investigation into the incident and has urged Russia to ensure the safety of its citizens. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials have not commented on the attack, though tensions between the two countries have been rising in recent months. The incident is likely to further complicate diplomatic relations and raise concerns about the broader implications of the war on international security.
