Ukraine attacked multiple regions of Russia on Sunday, killing at least nine people, while Russian attacks on Ukraine killed at least five, according to officials in both countries.
Some of the strikes hit hundreds of kilometres from the front line, according to authorities.
Both Moscow and Kyiv have upped attacks on each other in recent months, as US-led talks aimed at ending the conflict remain largely frozen.
Kyiv, which denies targeting civilians, says the strikes are fair retaliation for deadly Russian bombardment of its own territory and are aimed at pressuring Moscow into negotiations.
Ukrainian strikes on Russia’s Belgorod region bordering Ukraine killed four people earlier on Sunday, including a 13-year-old girl near a playground, the region’s acting governor Alexander Shuvaev said.
“The 13-year-old girl was gravely wounded. Medics who arrived at the scene took all possible measures to save her but her injuries were not incompatible with life,” he said.
