Ukraine struck the small town of Rylsk in Russia’s Kursk region, killing five and wounding 12, said the governor, Alexander Khinshtein. An earlier toll from the governor said six people were killed.
Khinshtein accused Kyiv of firing US-supplied HIMARS rocket systems on civilian targets, saying the strike damaged buildings including a school and the dormitory of a pilot training college. Videos on social media showed cars on fire, debris strewn on roads and buildings with windows blown out.
The border region is partly occupied by Ukrainian forces Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told TASS state news agency Moscow would raise the attack at a UN Security Council meeting Friday.
