A Russian border region being pounded by Ukrainian shelling and drones is expanding its closure of schools and colleges amid a major evacuation plan
, authorities announced Wednesday, as Kyiv’s forces extend their campaign of long-range strikes that aim to put the Kremlin under pressure. Ukraine lacks ammunition supplies along the 1,000-kilometer front line due to a shortfall in promised Western supplies, which is one of the main factors forcing its army to take a more defensive stance. But at the same time, it is attacking oil facilities deep inside Russia and seeking to unnerve Russia’s border regions.
Gladkov, the governor, said one person was killed and two others were injured, including a 17-year-old girl, in the attack. He said 16 people have been killed over the past week alone. In another possible sign of Kyiv’s strategy, Ukrainian drones targeted the city of Engels, about 800 kilometers east of the border with Ukraine in the Saratov region. An airbase for strategic bombers is near the city. Russia’s Defense Ministry said it took down four drones over the Saratov region.
