(Reuters) – One man was killed and another injured while energy infrastructure ​was damaged in a missile and drone ‌attack on Russia's Belgorod region bordering Ukraine, local authorities said on the Telegram messaging app on Monday.

The casualties were ​the result of the drone and missile strike, ​and the missiles cut power and water supplies, ⁠the authorities said, noting the attack also hit ​the city of Belgorod.

Five more people were injured ​in drone attacks in the Russian-controlled eastern Ukrainian town of Horlivka, Russian state Vesti TV programme said on Telegram.

Two people ​were killed and 16 wounded after a Russian ​shell, missile and drone attack in Ukraine's southern Kherson region ‌that ⁠began early on Sunday, regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin said on Telegram.

In Ukraine's southeastern region of Zaporizhzhia, three people were wounded following Russian airstrikes and drone ​attacks, local ​authorities said ⁠on Telegram.

Reuters could not independently verify the reports. Russia and Ukraine deny deliberately ​targeting civilians.

Russia pounded Kyiv and surrounding areas ​with ⁠hundreds of drones and missiles on Sunday in one of the heaviest bombardments of the city since ⁠the ​start of the four-year war, ​firing an Oreshnik hypersonic missile near the capital.
