Aug 11 (Reuters) - At least 13 people were injured in

the city of Kursk after debris from a destroyed Ukraine-launched

missile fell onto a nine-storey residential building, officials

of the Russian border Kursk region said on Sunday.

Moscow's forces are in their sixth day of intense battles

against Kyiv's largest incursion into Russian territory since

Russia launched a full-scale invasion on its smaller neighbour,

with local authorities rushing to evacuate areas at risk.

Alexei Smirnov, Kursk's acting governor, said in a post on

the Telegram messaging app that two of the injured were in

serious condition.

Residents of the building were to be evacuated to a

temporary accommodations centres, Kursk Mayor Igor Kutsak said

on Telegram. He added that the whole city was under air raid

alerts.

Kutsak posted a photo of a residential building with blown

out windows and damaged balconies and facade of a residential

building at night.

Reuters could not independently verify the reports from

Kursk. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine.

Both Kyiv and Moscow deny targeting civilians in their

attacks in the war, which has killed thousands of people and

misplaced millions of Ukrainians, and has no end in sight.
