Six people, including one child, were killed on Friday in a Ukrainian missile attack on the town of Rylsk in Russia’s Kursk region, the acting governor, Alexander Khinshtein, said.

Ten wounded people, including a 13-year-old, were taken to a local hospital with minor injuries, Khinshtein wrote on Telegram. “What happened today is a huge tragedy for all of us,” he said. “We grieve together with the families of the victims. No one will be left without support.” He said that those responsible for the attack would receive “well-deserved retribution”.

Maria Zakharova, the spokeswoman for the Russian foreign ministry, said Moscow would raise the issue of the missile strike at a meeting of the United Nations Security Council on Friday.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
