Russian Strikes Across Ukraine Kill 3, Injure 27 Amid Drone Assaults

Russian attacks across Ukraine have killed at least three people and injured 27 others over the past 24 hours.

Russia launched an assault using an Iskander-M ballistic missile and 126 drones, including around 80 Shahed-type attack drones, The Caspian Post reports via Ukrainian media.

Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 117 drones, preventing further destruction across multiple regions.

Key incidents include:

Donetsk - At least two killed and six injured, regional governor Vadym Filashkin said.

Kharkiv - Three people wounded during strikes on a village near the Russian border, governor Oleh Syniehubov reported.

Sumy - A 32-year-old man killed and a 45-year-old injured in a drone attack.

Chernihiv - A 52-year-old man wounded when an FPV drone hit a civilian vehicle.

Dnipropetrovsk - Two injured, including a 59-year-old woman and a 51-year-old man; five districts struck with artillery, drones, guided bombs, and missiles.

Zaporizhzhia - Three civilians wounded during strikes on the city and nearby areas.

Kherson - Eleven civilians injured over the past day, governor Oleksandr Prokudin said.

Odesa - Drone attacks targeted port infrastructure overnight, causing no casualties.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022, Russia has intensified the use of missiles and drones across Ukraine. While Ukrainian air defenses intercept a large portion of incoming attacks, civilian areas and infrastructure continue to face frequent damage.
