Ukraine and Russia are blaming each other for a deadly missile strike that killed at least four people in a boarding school dormitory in Russia's Kursk region, which Ukraine controls parts of. Ukraine's armed forces claimed Russia launched the strike from Russian territory, while Ukrainian President Zelenskyy condemned Russia’s tactics, likening them to past actions in Chechnya and Syria. Ukraine's forces reported rescuing 84 people or providing medical help following the attack, which occurred in the contested Sudzha area near the Ukraine border.
Competing claims emerged over 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, with Ukraine and Russia accusing each other of carrying out the strike. The General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces said Saturday night that four people were killed and a further four seriously wounded in the strike, with 84 people rescued by Ukrainian servicemen from the rubble of the building. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Moscow had bombed the boarding school where civilians were sheltering and preparing to evacuate.
Ukraine and Russia have both blamed each other for an 'evil' strike on a former boarding school used to shelter dozens of elderly civilians in the Ukraine-occupied Kursk region, Russia. Four people were killed and 84 wounded victims had to be rescued from the rubble of the destroyed building in Sudzha which also housed several Ukrainian police officers. Four of the injured were in a serious condition. Photographs and videos have shown the devastation in the aftermath of the strike as dazed victims emerged, some of which were carried out on stretches.
