A Russian diplomat said Ukrainian forces killed 41 civilians and injured 274 others in attacks on Russian territory over the past week, according to a report by the Russian state news agency TASS.
Rodion Miroshnik, cited in the report, said that over the seven-day period Ukrainian armed forces fired at least 8,033 rounds at civilian targets inside Russia.
TASS did not provide a breakdown of the casualty figures by specific region or attack, nor did it specify the types of munitions Miroshnik said were used in the strikes he described.
The figures could not be independently verified. Russia and Ukraine have each accused the other throughout the war of striking civilian areas, and both sides have generally disputed the other's casualty and damage figures.
Miroshnik has previously been cited in Russian state media discussing what Moscow describes as Ukrainian strikes on civilian infrastructure and populated areas within Russia's internationally recognized borders and in Russian-controlled territory.
The reported attacks come amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, which began with Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and has involved cross-border strikes, drone attacks and artillery exchanges affecting civilian populations on both sides.
