"Ukrainian Shelling Kills 2 in Russian Border City Amid Presidential Vote"

Ukrainian shelling in the Russian city of Belgorod killed two people, while Russia claimed to have thwarted an incursion by saboteurs from Ukraine. The attacks occurred during Russia's presidential election, with ongoing exchanges of long-range missile and rocket fire. Cross-border attacks have been sporadic since the war began, with claims and counterclaims, disinformation, and propaganda. Additionally, Ukrainian drone attacks caused a fire at a Russian oil refinery and targeted a polling station in the illegally annexed Zaporizhzhia region. The attacks come after a Russian assault on the Ukrainian port city of Odesa, which killed at least 21 people, prompting Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to promise a "just response."
