At least six people are dead after a Ukrainian missile hit a village just miles from the border - as both Russia and Ukraine ramp up deadly long-range strikes.

This is getting grim again on both sides of the border.

At least six people have been killed and four others, including a 14-year-old, wounded after a Ukrainian missile strike on western Russia, according to cbinews.tv.

Acting Belgorod Governor Alexander Shuvaev said the attack on Monday hit the village of Koloskovo in the Valuysky district, about 15km from Ukraine's northeastern border. He said on the state-backed MAX platform that a structure was burned and a vehicle damaged.

But it wasn't one-sided.

At the same time, Russian forces launched missile and drone attacks across Ukraine, killing at least four people and wounding 19.

Here is what we know from the overnight strikes:

In Zaporizhzhia in the southeast, at least two people were killed and four injured.

In Sumy in the northeast, two were killed and one wounded, according to emergency services.

In Dnipropetrovsk in central Ukraine, five were injured.

In Izyum, Kharkiv region, four injured after two guided-bomb attacks.

In Kherson in the south, five injured.

And in Odesa, port infrastructure in the Izmail district was hit, damaging a Togo-flagged civilian vessel. Authorities said the fires have now been put out. Izmail is home to Ukraine's largest port on the Danube, right near the Romanian border.

All of this comes just a day after both countries carried out deep strikes that killed 19 people in total.

With front-line fighting largely at a standstill and US-backed peace talks frozen, both sides have significantly stepped up missile attacks. The civilian toll is now at its highest since the early months of the war in 2022.

According to a UN tally, 437 civilians were killed in Ukraine in July alone - the highest monthly figure since May 2022. Russian authorities reported 79 civilians killed in Ukrainian attacks in the same month.

As cbinews.tv reports, Russia has been carrying out near-daily attacks since its full-scale invasion in February 2022, and has recently intensified its use of hard-to-intercept ballistic missiles. Ukraine, meanwhile, has been targeting oil refineries and warehouses linked to online retailer Wildberries, which it says supplies the Russian military.
