Russian authorities said on Saturday that seven people have been killed by Ukrainian shelling on the Russian border region of Belgorod.
The incident occurred in the town of Shebekino, where a partially collapsed apartment block resulted in four fatalities. A woman who was rescued later died in the hospital. Additionally, there have been reported deaths in the Russian towns of Oktyabrsky and Murom.
Shebekino, located approximately 5 kilometres from the Ukrainian border, has seen significant damage after the Ukrainian attacks.
On the other side of the border, the Ukrainian town of Vovchansk is currently witnessing fierce fighting between Russian and Ukrainian troops.
The border region of Belgorod serves as a deployment area and logistics base for Russian forces, while the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv also faces attacks from this area.
