Ukrainian strikes kill six in Russia, acting governor says

Ukrainian missile strikes have reportedly killed six people and injured four in Russia's Belgorod region, according to the acting governor, Alexander Shuvaev. A 14-year-old child among the injured was admitted to the hospital. Meanwhile, two people were killed and four others injured in Russian drone strikes on Ukraine's Sumy region, near the border with Russia.

These attacks follow a night where Ukraine launched its largest-scale attack this year, killing at least seven people. On Saturday night, Russian attacks on Ukraine resulted in at least seven casualties and over 39 injuries. The latest strikes in Russia's Belgorod region burned a building and damaged a car in the Koloskovo village near the border.

The injured were taken to the hospital, and two others received medical assistance. In Russia's southern Astrakhan region, a woman was killed after a drone strike hit a home, while another drone attack targeted an industrial facility in the region, though it was not damaged. In Ukraine, an attack on the Black Sea port city of Odesa damaged a civilian vessel and injured four people, reported the regional head Oleh Kiper.
