Ukrainian strikes have claimed the lives of six people, including two children, in Russia-occupied areas of Ukraine as well as in Russia's border regions of Belgorod and Bryansk, local officials have confirmed. Ukraine attacks followed a day after Russia launched an attack on Kyiv using a powerful hypersonic Oreshnik ballistic missile for a third time, killing at least four people and injuring about 100.
The local Moscow-installed administration stated that four people, including two children, were killed in the frontline town of Gorlivka in the occupied Donetsk region. "As a result of Ukrainian armed aggression in the Kalininsky district of Gorlovka, four civilians have been killed, including two children born in 2012 and 2013," Mayor Ivan Prikhodko said.
Earlier in the day, during the early morning hours, two people also died after Ukraine launched drones around the western Russian border regions of Bryansk and Belgorod, local authorities said. Ukraine has frequently launched strikes on Russian territory and occupied regions in response to the ongoing bombardments it has faced since Russia began its large-scale military offensive in February 2022.

Adding further details on Sunday, Zelenskyy wrote on X that about 100 people had been injured across the country and four had died as a result of the Russian attack, which he said had hit Kyiv the hardest.
In response, Russia stated that the raid was in retaliation for a Ukrainian drone attack on educational buildings in the Russian-occupied Lugansk region that claimed the lives of 21 people and injured over 40.
