Russian Strikes in Ukraine
One person was killed and two injured in the central eastern Dnipropetrovsk region, regional military administration head Oleksandr Ganzha said on Telegram. "The enemy attacked two districts of the region more than 30 times with drones and aerial bombs," said Ganzha.
In Sumy district in the north, a 66-year-old man was killed in a Russian drone attack on a house, regional military governor Oleg Grygorov said. In another attack on the region, 13 people were wounded, Ukraine's State Emergency Service said. It also said that strikes on southeastern Zaporizhzhia injured nine, including two children.
"The enemy attack caused extensive destruction to the city's civilian infrastructure," the service said. "Specifically, a residential high-rise building was partially destroyed. Emergency workers rescued two people from under the rubble." Photos on Telegram showed the destroyed roof of a block of flats with shattered windows, a devastated stairwell and a ravaged flat.
Ukrainian Strikes in Russia and Occupied Territories
In the southern Rostov region, drones hit a building of a military museum, governor Yuri Slyusar said, wounding 11 people. One woman died meanwhile in a Ukrainian strike on Horlivka, a town in Ukraine's Russian-controlled Donetsk region, according to a Telegram post by Russian-backed mayor Ivan Prikhodko.
In Russia's Belgorod region bordering Ukraine, a civilian was killed when Kyiv's "drones struck a manufacturing facility", local authorities said on the state-backed platform Max. One person was killed and 11 wounded in a Ukrainian strike on Russia's Volgograd region in the south west, regional authorities said on Telegram, adding industrial facilities were damaged.
"Last night, FP-5 Flamingo missiles successfully struck the Titan-Barrikady facility in Volgograd," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky posted on social media. "It is a major industrial complex where the enemy produces artillery systems and specialised military equipment, including components for missile launch systems used in attacks against our people," Zelensky wrote.
