Six people, including one child, were killed on Friday in a Ukrainian missile attack on the town of Rylsk in Russia’s Kursk region, the acting governor, Alexander Khinshtein, said.

Ten wounded people, including a 13-year-old, were taken to a local hospital with minor injuries, Khinshtein wrote on Telegram. “What happened today is a huge tragedy for all of us,” he said. “We grieve together with the families of the victims. No one will be left without support.” He said that those responsible for the attack would receive “well-deserved retribution”.

Maria Zakharova, the spokeswoman for the Russian foreign ministry, said Moscow would raise the issue of the missile strike at a meeting of the United Nations Security Council on Friday.
