Suicide bombing at Ukraine-Belarus border kills 4 amid draft evasion crackdown

A suicide bombing rocked the Ukraine-Belarus border town of Ovruch, killing four people, including the alleged bomber, and injuring ten others, authorities report. The 23-year-old Kharkiv resident reportedly detonated explosives while attempting to flee Ukraine during a document check at the railway station. He later succumbed to his wounds in an ambulance after receiving first aid. The attack comes amid Kyiv’s strict enforcement of martial law and rising challenges in curbing draft evasion, with thousands of fighting-age men reportedly fleeing the country since February 2022.
