(Reuters) – Attacks on both sides of the Ukraine-Russia border killed two people on Friday, local officials said.
Three missiles hit a residential area near the northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv, killing one person, injuring four and destroying two houses, they said. A picture posted by the regional governor showed the shattered facade of a private home.
In southern Russia’s Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces hold swathes of territory five months after a mass incursion, a man walking down a road was killed in a drone strike, the regional governor said.
The Ukrainian military said on Thursday it had carried out a high-precision strike on a Russian command post in Kursk region. Russia’s military said it had downed four Ukrainian missiles.
Russia says it has recaptured much of the territory seized by Ukrainian forces after they poured over the border into Kursk region in August.
