07:51 Russia and Ukraine announced that they had repelled multiple airstrikes on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, and increased shelling of border regions forced the evacuation of civilians on both sides, Reuters reported.

Russian officials said that air defense systems destroyed missiles and drones launched by Ukraine over the Belgorod, Kursk and Voronezh regions, which border Ukraine. Drones were also shot down deeper in Russia, in the Saratov region, News.ro notes.

Meanwhile, Russia’s intense shelling of the Sumy border region in northeastern Ukraine forced Kyiv to order the evacuation of civilians.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported on Telegram that by 22:00 (19:00 GMT) on Tuesday, air defense units had intercepted 12 missiles over the Belgorod region. Soon after, it said it had intercepted two more missiles, including an American-made Patriot missile, over the neighboring Kursk region.

At the beginning of Wednesday, the governor of the Saratov region, Roman Busargin, said that two drones launched by Ukraine were intercepted near the city of Engels. Near this city, Russia has a military base of strategic bombers.

There were no losses or major destruction during any of the attacks from Ukraine.

The governor of Belgorod, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said late on Tuesday that by the end of the week, 1,200 children from the most at-risk areas will be temporarily transported to other regions of Russia. He added that about 9,000 people were asked to evacuate.

The Sumy authorities said that there were 30 explosions on Tuesday. One person died in the border community of Velyka Pysarivka, where the evacuation began last week.
