Ukrainian missile strikes kill six in Russia's Belgorod region
Six people died and four were hurt in the Russian region of Belgorod overnight, with its acting governor attributing the casualties to Ukrainian missile strikes. Alexander Shuvaev said a 14-year-old child was among the injured, with a building burned and a car damaged in Koloskovo village. These strikes follow what officials called Ukraine's "largest-scale" attack this year, which killed at least seven people.
