Moscow: Thirteen people were injured in a Ukrainian attack on Russia's Kursk region, with two individuals in critical condition, according to the region's Acting Governor, Alexei Smirnov, via his Telegram channel on Sunday.
The incident occurred when a missile, intercepted by Russian defense systems, fell onto a residential building, causing a fire. Despite the damage, initial reports suggest that the building's structural integrity remains intact, and 15 people have been rescued so far.
This attack follows reports from Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate on Saturday, stating that Ukrainian forces destroyed a Russian KS-701 Tunets high-speed boat in the Black Sea near Crimea. The Directorate also claimed that Ukrainian forces had hit 18 Russian vessels with Magura V5 and destroyed nine of them during the ongoing conflict.
