Six civilians killed in Ukrainian missile strike on Belgorod as Russia rejects Black Sea truce proposal

Six Russian civilians were killed and four wounded, including a 14-year-old, when a Ukrainian missile struck the village of Koloskovo in Belgorod's Valuysky district on Monday, acting regional governor Alexander Shuvayev said. The strike, which targeted a Wildberries logistics site and reportedly employed British-made Nyan jet drones, ignited a building and damaged a vehicle.

Ukraine has disabled seven of Wildberries' ten largest facilities over recent months. In retaliatory strikes, Russian forces hit ports in Odesa and Izmail, damaging a Togo-flagged cargo vessel and, according to Moscow's defence ministry, destroying a Tarantul patrol boat, fuel depots, and naval drone warehouses. A separate Russian drone attack on a Nova Poshta branch in Kramatorsk killed one person and wounded four.

The Russian foreign ministry rejected a Ukrainian proposal, relayed via Turkey, for mutual restraint on Black Sea civilian targeting, as Kyiv offered through a third party to halt strikes on non-military maritime targets.
