Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of a deadly attack on a boarding school in Sudzha, a city in Russia’s Kursk region that has been under Ukrainian control for five months.

The General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces said on Saturday night that four people were killed and a further four were seriously injured in the strike, with 84 people rescued by Ukrainian servicemen from the rubble of the building.
