In the Russian town of Shebekino on the Ukrainian border, two of the four injured were hospitalized and shelling damaged an apartment building, four homes and a school as well as power lines, Belgorod region Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said.
Mr Gladkov later told Russian television that there had been more Ukrainian shelling of Shebekino and a fire had broken out at an industrial zone.
Drones attacked two refineries 65 to 80 kilometers (40 to 50 miles) from Russia’s largest oil export ports on Wednesday, Russian officials said. They said the fires were later extinguished.
Moscow’s mayor said Ukrainian drones attacked city districts on Tuesday, injuring two people. The Kremlin said Moscow’s air defenses were effective but needed improvement.
The White House said it did not know who carried out the drone strikes in Moscow but reiterated that the US does not support attacks inside Russia.
The United States, Britain and Germany are among the Western countries that have supplied weapons to Ukraine on condition that it uses them to defend itself and retake territory, not to attack Russian territory.
The White House on Wednesday announced the latest aid package for Ukraine, including air defense systems and ammunition worth up to $300 million.
