Shelling in Russia kills 14
BELGOROD, Russia — Authorities say shelling in the center of the Russian border city of Belgorod has killed 14 people, including two children, and wounded 108 others.

Moscow’s forces on Friday launched 122 missiles and dozens of drones on Ukraine, an onslaught described by one air force official as the biggest aerial barrage of the war.
