Ukrainian military says Russia struck dormitory in Kursk region

(Reuters) - Ukraine's military said on Saturday that Russian forces had struck a dormitory housing people preparing for evacuation in a part of Russia's Kursk region held by Ukrainian forces.

The military's general staff issued a statement said that a Russian guided, or glide, bomb had hit the dormitory in the town of Sudzha, on the Ukrainian border, in the late afternoon.

"The strike was deliberate. At the time of the strike, dozens of local residents were inside the building, preparing for evacuation," it said.

"The Russian side was fully aware that only civilians -- local residents, including women and children -- were in the dormitory."

A military spokesperson, Oleksiy Dmytrashkivskyi, had earlier said in a video posted on Facebook that nearly 100 people were under rubble at the site and that moans and cries had been heard.

The spokesperson said the building had housed mostly elderly and infirm people.

Ukrainian forces have held swathes of Kursk region since staging a major cross-border incursion last August.
