Fresh cross-border strikes left civilians dead on both sides of the front, with Ukrainian attacks inside Russia killing at least nine people and Russian attacks across Ukraine claiming at least five, according to officials in the two countries. In Russia’s Belgorod region along the Ukrainian border, Ukrainian strikes earlier killed four people, including a 13-year-old girl who was wounded near a playground, acting governor Alexander Shuvaev said. Elsewhere, a separate drone attack on Russia’s Saratov region, which borders Kazakhstan, killed two people. In Ukraine, Russian strikes killed two people in the eastern region of Dnipropetrovsk, and at least one person each in the southern regions of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, according to regional authorities. Both Russia and Ukraine deny targeting civilians.
