MOSCOW, Oct 25 (Reuters) - ‌A ​Ukrainian ​drone attack overnight on the Russian border city of Belgorod ‌killed three people and injured 13, ⁠local authorities said on Sunday, while a ‌separate drone strike later ‌in the day killed another person and wounded one other in a ​nearby village.

"Unfortunately, the death toll from last night's attack (in the city ⁠of Belgorod) has risen — another man who had been ​injured has died in hospital. This is a great tragedy for ​all the city's residents," ‌Belgorod's mayor, Valentin Demidov, wrote on state-backed messaging app MAX.

The ⁠overnight attack on Belgorod damaged 30 apartment buildings, 35 cars, four houses, three ⁠administrative buildings, eight commercial premises and three ​social facilities, regional governor Alexander Shuvayev said.

In a separate incident on Sunday morning, one person ‌was killed and another injured when a Ukrainian drone struck ‌a car in the village of ⁠Voznesenovka near the ‌town of ​Shebekino, local authorities said.
