Two people were killed on Thursday after Ukraine shelled a small village in the Russian border region of Bryansk, the region's governor said.
Bryansk governor Alexander Bogomaz said earlier that one man had died but later announced another person was killed.
"At present, two civilians have been killed by the Ukrainian armed forces," he said on social media.
The attack took place in the Russian village of Chausy, some three miles (five kilometers) from the Ukrainian border, he said.
Russian regions bordering Ukraine have repeatedly accused Kyiv's forces of indiscriminate shelling.
On Wednesday, one person was reported killed and four others injured after Ukrainian shelling targeted Russia's border region of Belgorod.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
