Kyiv: Russian shelling of the village of Komyshevaha in the Ukrainian Zaporizhzhia region on Friday resulted in two fatalities and four injuries, according to the regional governor.

In the small Ukrainian village near the front line, Yuriy Malashko reported on the Telegram messaging app that Russian forces had attacked a multi-story residential building.

After a week of strikes, Russia launched an airstrike on Kyiv early on Thursday, killing at least three people, including a child, and instilling new terror in the city.

Moscow's forces have recently attacked the Ukrainian capital from the air, including an unusual daytime attack on Monday that forced locals to seek cover.

Three people were killed and 12 others were injured when cruise and ballistic missiles were launched at the city early on Thursday morning (0000 GMT), according to officials.

The Kyiv City Military Administration posted on Telegram, "In the Desnyanskyi district: three people died, including one child (born in 2012), and 10 people were injured, including one child."

According to the governor of Russia's western Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, at least two people were hurt in an attack on the town of Shebekino on Thursday morning that was attributed to Ukrainian troops.

"Shebekino faces tension once more this evening. For an hour, Ukrainian troops shelled the city, he claimed. Gladkov previously noted that four people were hurt during shelling in the same town.
In a strike on a local centre for displaced people on Tuesday, one person was killed and two others were injured. In recent weeks, a number of oil depots have also been attacked. Attacks have occurred as Kiev claims to be getting ready for a significant offensive against Moscow's forces.

Since its invasion of Ukraine more than a year ago, Russia has experienced an increase in attacks on its soil, including a drone attack on Moscow on Tuesday.

The situation, according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, "is quite alarming."
Due to the escalating attacks, Russia announced on Wednesday that it was evacuating hundreds of kids from villages.

According to Governor Gladkov, the first 300 evacuated kids would be transported to Voronezh, a city located about 250 kilometres further into Russia. He added that more than 1,000 children would be relocated to other provinces in the upcoming days.
Near Voronezh, a reporter for the state-run RIA Novosti reported that buses had arrived with about 150 people on board.

The Kremlin has claimed that Ukraine and its Western backers are responsible for the rise in reported attacks.
