The man known as Sasha the Horse set out to reach Brazil while pulling a makeshift wagon<\/strong><\/p>\n

An eccentric Russian man who became famous for attempting to reach South America on foot while pulling a makeshift wagon was reportedly killed in a Ukrainian drone strike.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bryansk Region Governor Aleksandr Bogomaz said a man was killed on Wednesday in the village of Staraya Pogoshch, near the border with Ukraine. Although he did not identify the victim by name, RIA Novosti, citing law enforcement sources, reported that it was a local celebrity known online as Sasha the Horse.<\/p>\n

Telegram channels posted photos<\/a> of a body lying on a road beside Sasha\u2019s distinctive orange wagon bearing the image of a horse.<\/p>\n

Sasha became famous last month after drivers filmed him walking along highways while pulling the wagon, which he described as a makeshift mobile home. Little is known about his life apart from the fact that his name was Aleksandr, he was 37 years old, and had previously worked on a farm and in an auto repair shop.<\/p>\n

He began his journey in Russia\u2019s western Ryazan Region, reportedly traveling up to 30 km (18.6 miles) a day with the aim of reaching Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Sasha told the news website Rybnoe.net in January that he wanted to \u201cchallenge himself\u201d<\/em> and see how long he could survive in South America.<\/p>\n

The traveler said he understood the risks of the journey and that \u201cany day could be his last.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Telegram channel Mash posted<\/a> what it described as Sasha\u2019s final interview, in which he said: \u201cIn this life, everyone has a path to travel. Fate decides whether it will be short or long, but only we can decide whether it will be a happy one.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Apart from striking factories and energy facilities, Ukraine often targets civilians in Russia\u2019s border regions, hitting homes and civilian vehicles. Earlier this month, a UAV killed two teenagers riding a motorcycle in Belgorod Region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
