Russian strikes injure six in Ukraine as fuel crisis deepens into Siberia

Six people were wounded in Russian air strikes on Ukraine overnight, local authorities said, and the capital of Kyiv briefly issued an air raid alert telling residents to seek shelter in the early hours of Tuesday.



The strikes came in the wake of a Ukrainian attack on a plant producing electronics for missiles in Russia's border Voronezh region on Monday that the local governor said had killed five people and injured dozens.



Russia and Ukraine have continued to exchange strikes as the war has dragged into a fifth year. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has sought support from Western allies for a peace deal while also pushing for fast-track admission to the European Union.



Two people sought medical help after Russian forces struck the southeastern region of Zaporizhzhia, Governor Ivan Fedorov said on Telegram, and three more people were wounded in Sumy, in the north, late on Monday, emergency services said.



One woman was injured in a drone attack on Ukraine's second-largest city of Kharkiv, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said on Telegram on Monday evening. Early on Tuesday, Kyiv authorities briefly issued an air raid alert before withdrawing it.
