In a series of Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine, a total of 17 individuals were injured, as reported by Ukrainian officials. The incidents predominantly occurred in Kharkiv and its surrounding region, where 14 people were hurt, including a seven-year-old child. Additionally, Kriviy Rih reported two injuries, reflecting the widespread impact of these strikes across multiple Ukrainian locales.

The strikes have also resulted in extensive property damage, notably affecting 19 multi-apartment buildings and four private houses in Zaporizhzhia. This onslaught not only caused physical injuries but also left over 500 homes without heating amid the cold season, exacerbating the humanitarian situation. While there were no reports of injuries from the strikes in Kyiv, damage was noted in several districts, indicating the broad reach of the Russian military action.

This recent wave of attacks underscores the continued volatility and danger facing civilians in Ukraine. As the conflict persists, the targeting of residential areas raises serious concerns about the safety and wellbeing of the Ukrainian population, prompting further discussions on international support and intervention to safeguard civilians from such assaults.
