Ukraine's Missile Attack on Russian City Leaves 20 Injured, Moscow Claims

Moscow accuses Ukraine of firing missiles at southern Russia, injuring 20 people, while Russian forces continue to pound a key village in southeastern Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed to have shot down two Ukrainian missiles over its southern Rostov region, with debris falling on the city of Taganrog. Regions bordering Ukraine have experienced regular drone attacks and shelling since Russia's military campaign began in February 2022, but missile attacks on Russian territory are rare. Meanwhile, Ukrainian and Russian forces are engaged in intense fighting for control of a key village in southeastern Ukraine, with Ukraine aiming to push deeper into Russian-held territory.
