Attack on a tractor in the Ponyrovsky district

In the village of Pervomayskoye, Ponyrovsky district, Kursk region, a Ukrainian drone attacked a working tractor. As a result, a 40-year-old man was killed: according to the region's governor Alexander Khinshtein, he received fatal injuries and died even before the ambulance crew arrived, which could no longer help him. The head of the region reported this on the MAX messenger and expressed condolences to the relatives of the deceased, assuring that the family would be provided with all necessary assistance.

Not the first such incident in the region

This is already the second recent strike on agricultural machinery in the Kursk region reported by Life.ru. Earlier, the outlet reported the death of a 40-year-old machine operator in an FPV drone attack on a tractor working in a field between the villages of Bolshoye Soldatskoye and Kozyrevka — the man also died on the spot. Both episodes share the same pattern: drones hit machinery directly during field work, and the crew does not have time to receive medical assistance. The publications do not indicate whether the two cases are connected; the editorial office of the sources has no final data on the victims or the circumstances of the attacks.
