Ukraine has carried out a series of deadly air strikes on targets in south-west Russia over the past 24 hours, according to Russian officials.
Latest reports say four people have been killed in Belgorod and Bryansk – with children among the victims. The Russian defence ministry also said it had destroyed dozens of missiles and drones fired into its territory by Ukraine.
The attacks follow Russian strikes on Ukraine which killed 39 people. Nearly 160 people were injured as Russia attacked with missiles and drones on Friday – including the capital Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipro, Kharkiv and Lviv. The strikes were described by Kyiv as Russia’s biggest missile bombardment of the war so far against Ukraine. In an update on Saturday, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said nearly 120 villages and cities were attacked, including hundreds of “civilian objects” damaged.
