Russian authorities say six people have been killed including a child, in a Ukrainian strike in Russia’s Kursk region.
The region’s acting governor added that 10 people were taken to hospital following the attack on the town of Rylsk.
A cultural centre, fitness complex, school and homes were damaged, the governor added.
This comes after Ukrainian officials said Moscow had launched a fresh missile attack on Kyiv, which reportedly damaged a building in the city centre hosting six embassies.
The foreign ministry said that the diplomatic missions of Albania, Argentina, North Macedonia, Palestine, Portugal and Montenegro were affected. It is unclear whether the building was directly targeted.
According to Ukraine’s military, at least one person died and nine others were injured in the strike which damaged a number of buildings in the city.
European Union (EU) chief Ursula von der Leyen condemned the Friday’s strike on the Ukrainian capital, calling it “another heinous Russian attack against Kyiv”.
Russia has not yet commented.
Ukraine’s military said Russia launched 65 drones and missiles across the country overnight, with most shot down.
The country’s air force said it shot down all five of the Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles Russia launched on Kyiv on Friday morning, and the debris caused damage in five areas of the city.
It is not thought that any of the embassy diplomats were injured.
Portuguese foreign minister Paulo Rangel told local media: “It is absolutely unacceptable for attacks to damage or target diplomatic facilities.”
