Earlier this morning, an overnight missile strike struck the Belgorod region of Russia, killing one woman and injuring another.
The Belgorod region lies directly on the border with Ukraine and has been a focal point of recent cross-border hostilities.
Acting governor Aleksandr Shuvaev confirmed the casualties and reported that emergency services were dispatched to the site to provide medical aid and conduct damage assessments.
The incident adds to a series of attacks in the area that have prompted heightened security measures and investigations into the origin and intent of the missile.
Authorities have called for continued vigilance and have urged residents to remain alert to potential further threats.
