A UAV has dropped three rounds of ammunition on the building of the Border Service of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia in Kursk Oblast, injuring five border guards, Russian Telegram channels report.

Ukrainska Pravda reports, citing Telegram channel Astra, Investigative Committee of Russia and Governor of Kursk Oblast Roman Starovoyt's Telegram.

Astra reported that the attack occurred at 23:00 on 15 May. Ammunition was dropped on the administrative building of the FSB border service in the village of Glushkovo in Kursk Oblast.

"Five border guards were hospitalised in the Glushkovo Central District Hospital, particularly Warrant Officer Dmitry S. with a shrapnel wound to the stomach, Warrant Officer Dmitry S. with a shrapnel wound to the neck, Warrant Officer Albert T. with a shrapnel wound to the face, Warrant Officer Pavel M. with a shrapnel wound to the thigh, and Warrant Officer Tomirlan K. with a shrapnel wound to the face".

Local Russian authorities have not yet reported this attack. However, Roman Starovoyt said another UAV strike on Kursk Oblast allegedly took place on the evening of 15 May.

"A Ukrainian drone dropped an explosive device on a working excavator near the village of Plekhovo in the Suzhansky district. The driver of the construction equipment sustained a minor injury to the shoulder in the attack. He was promptly taken to the Suzhansky Central District Hospital, where he is being provided with medical care, particularly by surgeons from the capital."

The Investigative Committee of Russia reported that it would investigate the attacks allegedly carried out by "armed formations of Ukraine" on the settlement of Plekhovo in Kursk Oblast and on the settlement of Klintsy in Bryansk Oblast, where a Ukrainian drone was allegedly shot down, damaging the balcony of a residential building.
