Ukraine strikes Crimea railway bridges, attacks continue across front

Ukraine intensified its attacks on Russian-occupied territories in southern Ukraine and Crimea, aiming to disrupt Moscow's military logistics. The Ukrainian General Staff reported on Friday that railway bridges in the Rosdolne and Wladyslawiwka districts of Crimea, used by Russian troops for military transport and supplies, were targeted.

Meanwhile, the conflict continued to inflict casualties. In Kramatorsk, a front-line city in eastern Ukraine, at least two people were killed and six injured by Russian shelling, according to Vadym Filashkin, the military governor of the Donetsk region. The industrial city was hit at least twice.

In the Black Sea, a Russian drone attack killed one crew member aboard a ship flying the flag of Panama. Two other individuals on board were injured, as reported by Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksij Kuleba. Another ship, flagged by St. Kitts and Nevis, was also struck, with three sailors sustaining minor injuries.

In Kharkiv, a major Ukrainian city near the Russian border, a Russian air raid injured at least nine people, including four children. The city's mayor, Ihor Terechow, stated that over 40 private homes were damaged by guided glide bombs. Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city before the war, has been heavily damaged and is frequently targeted by Russian attacks.

Separately, in Russia, an eight-year-old girl died in Shukovsky, a city in the Moscow region, as a result of a fire caused by a massive Ukrainian drone attack on Thursday. The girl was at home with her grandmother at the time. The governor of the Moscow region, Andrei Vorobyov, reported that at least 16 people were injured and 18 residential buildings were damaged. Ukraine reportedly launched numerous drones targeting the Russian capital and its surroundings, with authorities intercepting approximately 180.
