"Escalating Conflict: Ukraine and Russia Exchange Aerial Strikes Amidst International Tensions"

Ukrainian forces have reportedly launched air strikes on targets within Russia, resulting in civilian casualties, including children, in the regions of Belgorod and Bryansk. Russia claims to have intercepted dozens of missiles and drones. This escalation follows a significant Russian missile attack on Ukrainian cities, which caused numerous deaths and injuries. The UN Security Council has condemned Russia's bombing campaign, with member countries criticizing the targeting of civilian infrastructure as a violation of international law. Ukraine has not officially claimed responsibility for the attacks on Russian territory, but Ukrainian media suggest that military targets were the focus.
