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.
