KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A senior local official in Russia says a Ukrainian attack on a town in Russia’s Kursk border region using U.S.-supplied missiles has killed six people, including a child. The claim came hours after Ukrainian authorities said a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv killed at least one person and wounded 12 others. Moscow claimed the Kyiv strike was in response to a Ukrainian strike on Russian soil using American-made weapons. Kursk’s acting governor said 10 other people in the Kursk town of Rylsk, including a 13-year-old, were hospitalized after Friday’s strike with HIMARS missiles. Russia is trying to push back a Ukrainian incursion into Kursk that was launched in early August, but Ukraine’s troops are dug in.
