At least 20 injured in last night's attack on Ukraine
At least 20 people were injured in Russian attacks on southern and eastern Ukraine, destroying residential buildings and infrastructure.
Russian attacks on southern and eastern Ukraine during the night have resulted in at least 20 injuries, according to local sources. The assaults destroyed several apartment blocks and damaged infrastructure, leading to power outages for hundreds of homes. Major cities such as Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Zaporizjzja were among the affected areas, highlighting the ongoing impact of the conflict on civilians and urban infrastructure. In Kharkiv, the regional governor Oleh Synjehubov reported that at least 14 individuals were injured, including a seven-year-old boy. The city suffered from two rocket strikes and the impact of 17 drones, underscoring the threat posed to residential areas and the growing reliance on drone warfare in this ongoing conflict. This incident is part of a larger pattern of targeted attacks that have increasingly involved civilians, raising international concerns regarding the humanitarian situation in Ukraine. The attacks also coincided with a crucial meeting scheduled in Geneva between the United States and Ukrainian officials, adding a layer of geopolitical tension to the situation. With both military operations and diplomatic efforts underway, these incidents serve to remind the international community of the escalating violence and the urgent need for resolutions to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
