New outbreak of violence at the border: deaths and several injuries in cross-attacks between Russia and Ukraine

Two people were killed and ten others wounded in a Ukrainian attack in Russia's Bryansk region, which borders Ukraine, according to local Russian authorities. The region's acting governor, Yegor Kovalchuk, reported the incident in a message posted on Telegram late Thursday night.

According to the regional official, two people were killed and two others wounded in bombings in the Suzemka area, located very close to the Ukrainian border. Another attack targeting gas stations in the town of Starodoub left seven more people injured.

The governor also indicated that a five-year-old boy was injured in a separate drone attack. No further details were provided regarding the child's condition or the extent of the damage caused by the strikes.

Ukraine, for its part, reported several casualties following Russian attacks on its territory. In the Sumy region, in the north of the country, a 44-year-old woman was killed in a Russian drone strike, according to regional governor Oleh Hryhorov.

The same attack also seriously injured a 33-year-old woman, the Ukrainian official said. Local authorities also reported further strikes in the south of the country.

In the city of Mykolaiv, three more people were injured in a Russian drone strike, according to information released by local authorities on Telegram. These latest incidents demonstrate the ongoing clashes and cross-border strikes between the two countries.

The information released by Russian and Ukrainian officials could not be independently verified. Drone attacks and shelling remain frequent on both sides of the border, as the conflict continues for a fourth consecutive year.
