Russian attacks on Ukraine over the past day resulted in at least three deaths and 30 injuries, with drone strikes impacting various regions including Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Sumy.

In a significant escalation of hostilities, Russian forces launched 149 drones at Ukraine, resulting in at least three fatalities and 30 reported injuries over the past day. Ukrainian air defenses successfully intercepted 129 of these drones; however, 19 managed to evade interception, causing damage across 15 locations. The relentless nature of these attacks highlights the ongoing tension and violence in the region amidst the wider conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

Local authorities from Kharkiv Oblast reported that a 45-year-old man lost his life while seven others, including a young girl, were injured due to the strikes. Donetsk Oblast also suffered with a deadly attack in Sloviansk where one individual was killed, and five others were injured from separate strikes in the area.

These incidents underscore the grave impact of the ongoing war on civilian populations with repeated attacks disrupting daily life and safety.
