MOSCOW, March ⁠11 (Reuters) - Russia's Foreign Ministry on ⁠Wednesday condemned a deadly Ukrainian ‌strike on the western Russian city of Bryansk as a "terrorist attack" and ​accused Britain, whose missiles ⁠it said were ⁠used, of overstepping international legal norms.

In ⁠a ‌statement, the ministry said the strike was ⁠intended to derail efforts toward a ​peace ‌process and fuel an escalation ⁠of the ​conflict.

Bryansk regional governor Alexander Bogomaz said on Wednesday one more ⁠person had died in ​the attack, bringing the death toll to seven. Bogomaz said earlier ⁠that Tuesday's strike had injured 42 people, without saying what was hit.

Ukraine said it had struck ​a key plant ⁠producing missile components. Moscow accused ​it of deliberately ‌targeting civilians.
