Seven Killed in Russian Attacks Across Ukraine Overnight

Widespread Russian attacks across Ukraine overnight resulted in at least seven fatalities and numerous injuries, according to local authorities. The capital city, Kyiv, and the city of Dnipro were among the areas targeted, with residential buildings sustaining damage and fires erupting.

In Dnipro, four people were killed and several others wounded when multiple buildings were struck, reported Governor Oleksandr Hanzja. Meanwhile, in Kyiv, three deaths were confirmed by the head of the city's military administration, Tymur Tkatsjenko. Earlier reports indicated 20 people were injured in the capital. Eyewitnesses described intense attacks over Kyiv, with air defense systems reportedly engaging incoming projectiles.

Kyiv's mayor, Vitalij Klitsjko, reported explosions and a fire in a 24-story residential building, believed to be hit by a missile. He warned residents to take cover as parts of the city lost power. Tkatsjenko stated that the "enemy is attacking with ballistic missiles," adding to the urgency of the warnings.

Further south, in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, at least eight people, including an 11-year-old child, were injured by ballistic missiles and drones. An infrastructure facility in the Zaporizjzja region was also hit, according to Governor Ivan Fedorov. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had previously cautioned that warnings of potential large-scale Russian attacks remained valid, urging citizens to remain vigilant.
