A deadly missile strike on a boarding school in Russia's Kursk region on Saturday killed at least four people, with Ukraine and Russia accusing each other of responsibility. The attack, which occurred in a part of the region held by Ukrainian forces, sparked a fierce exchange of accusations and denials. Both sides claim they are not targeting civilians, but the incident highlights the ongoing conflict's devastating impact.
Ukraine and Russia traded blame for a deadly missile strike on Saturday that killed at least four people in the dormitory of a boarding school situated in a part of Russia’s Kursk region held by Kyiv forces.
As of late on Saturday , 84 people had been rescued or had received medical assistance, the statement said. Four of the injured were in a serious condition. Rescue efforts to clear rubble were proceeding. “This is how Russia waged war against Chechnya decades ago. They killed Syrians the same way. Russian bombs destroy Ukrainian homes the same way.”
Ukraine military spokesman Oleksiy Dmytrashkivskyi had earlier said in a video posted on Facebook that nearly 100 people were under rubble at the site, which he said had housed mostly elderly and infirm people.
