Ukraine fired at least eight missiles at Russia’s Belgorod border region, killing one person and wounding six, local officials have said, as Kyiv’s forces apparently kept up their efforts to rattle the Kremlin on the eve of Russia’s presidential election.

Also, in Russia’s Kursk border region, Ukrainian forces attempted a cross-border raid that was repelled, according to local authorities.
It was not possible to independently verify the Russian claims.
