Ukrainian strikes kill six in Russia, acting governor says
Six people have been killed and four injured in Ukrainian missile strikes on Russia's Belgorod region overnight, its acting governor has said.
In the early hours of Monday, Ukrainian missile strikes resulted in six fatalities and four injuries in Russia's Belgorod region, according to the acting governor, Alexander Shuvaev. The victims included a 14-year-old child. Ukraine officials reported two deaths and no injuries from Russian drone strikes overnight in the Sumy region, situated near the Russian border.
These attacks followed what Russian officials described as the "largest-scale" assault by Ukraine this year, which led to at least seven deaths the previous night. Russian aggression against Ukraine claimed at least seven lives and left over 39 injured on Saturday night. The recent Ukrainian strikes in Russia's Valuysky district burned a building and damaged a car.
The injured were taken to the hospital, with two receiving medical care. Separately, a woman was killed in a drone strike on a home in Russia's southern Astrakhan region, as reported by local governor Igor Babushkin. The Ukrainian strike targeted an industrial facility, though the facility remained undamaged. Ukrainian officials reported an overnight attack on the Black Sea port city of Odesa, which damaged a civilian vessel and injured four people.
