Ukrainian strikes kill six in Russia, acting governor says
Belgorod's acting governor Alexander Shuvaev says the missile strikes damaged a building and car
Six people have been killed and four injured in Ukrainian missile strikes on Russia's Belgorod region overnight, its acting governor has said.
A 14-year-old child was among those injured, Alexander Shuvaev wrote on Telegram on Monday.
The strikes come a night after what Russian officials called the "largest-scale" attack launched by Ukraine this year, in which at least seven people were killed.
Russian attacks on Ukraine also killed at least seven people and injured more than 39 on Saturday night.
Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and currently controls approximately a fifth of Ukrainian territory.
The latest Ukrainian strikes burned a building and damaged a car in the village of Koloskovo in the Valuysky district, which is close to Russia's border with Ukraine, Shuvaev said.
The injured child was sent to hospital while two others received medical assistance, he added.
Kyiv has stepped up drone strikes deep inside Russia during the past few weeks.
On Saturday night, Ukraine fired some 822 drones towards Russia, with 600 aiming for Moscow, according to its regional governor, who said the Russian capital suffered "one of the most massive drone attacks in recent memory".
