Six Killed in Russian Attacks Across Three Ukrainian Regions
Russian attacks killed six people on Friday in three different areas of Ukraine, regional officials reported. A series of more than 50 strikes by drones, artillery, and bombings claimed lives in the Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Sumy regions.
Dnipropetrovsk: Three Dead, Twelve Injured
In the southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region, three people were killed, including two near Nikopol, a town on the opposite bank of the Dnipro River from the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Regional Governor Oleksandr Hanzha said on Telegram that twelve people were injured in the attacks.
Zaporizhzhia City: Two Killed, Seventeen Wounded
Two people were killed in a strike on the city of Zaporizhzhia, a frequent recent target of deadly attacks, according to Regional Governor Ivan Fedorov. Seventeen people were hurt in the incident.
Sumy Region: One Dead from Glide Bombs
In the city of Sumy, near the Russian border, one person was killed when Russian forces launched glide bombs, said Regional Governor Oleh Hryhorov. Russian forces have long sought to build up a buffer zone in the region. Earlier, prosecutors said an overnight Russian drone attack on a house in the northern part of Sumy region killed four.
Verification and Kyiv Mourning
Reuters could not independently verify the accounts. Meanwhile, the capital Kyiv observed a day of mourning a day after a Russian missile and drone attack killed at least 30 people in the deadliest strike on the city this year.
