A Ukrainian missile attack on Sevastopol in the Russian-annexed Crimean peninsula killed two people — including a two-year-old child — and wounded another 22, the city's Moscow-appointed governor said Sunday.
Sevastopol, a Black Sea port city and naval base annexed by Russia in 2014, regularly comes under fire from Ukraine but the toll from Sunday's attack was unusually high.
"According to provisional information, today's attack by Ukraine's armed forces on Sevastopol killed 2 peaceful residents, one of them a two-year-old child," Governor Mikhail Razvozhayev wrote on Telegram.
The governor said Ukraine had launched five missiles, which Russian air defenses intercepted over the sea but fragments fell onto the shore area and pieces of shrapnel wounded people.
Razvozhayev said the missile fragments hit shore areas in the north of the city and set fire to a house and woodland.
Earlier Sunday, a drone launched by Ukraine on Russia's southern Belgorod region killed a man, the governor said.
Three Ukrainian attack drones struck the town of Graivoron a few kilometres from the border with Ukraine, said Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov, with one hitting a car park near a multi-storey block of flats.
"A peaceful civilian was killed. The man died from his wounds on the spot," Gladkov wrote on Telegram, adding that three other people were wounded.
