Russia says Ukraine has fired more missiles at a border region on the eve of election favoring Putin
Russian officials say Ukraine has fired at least eight missiles at the Belgorod border region, killing one person and wounding six
Ukraine fired at least eight missiles at Russia’s Belgorod border region, killing one person and wounding six, local officials said Thursday, as Kyiv’s forces apparently kept up their efforts to rattle the Kremlin on the eve of Russia’s presidential election, a vote that is taking place amid a ruthless crackdown on dissent.
Also, in Russia’s Kursk border region, Ukrainian forces attempted a cross-border raid that was repelled, according to local authorities.
It was not possible to independently verify the Russian claims.
The Ukrainian assaults on Russian territory in recent days, including long-range drone attacks and alleged incursions by Ukraine-based Russian proxies, have come as Russian President Vladimir Putin heads for near-certain reelection.
