Ukraine says Russian attack kills five people in Zaporizhzhia

Russian forces attacked the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia using glide bombs, resulting in five deaths and 11 injuries, according to regional governor Ivan Fedorov. The attack damaged multiple buildings, prompting local authorities to assess the damage and manage the aftermath. In separate incidents, a guided aerial bomb strike in Kharkiv killed one person and injured nine, while a drone strike in Zelenivka wounded a 72-year-old woman. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned during his nightly address that Russia was preparing for a 'massive attack' and urged citizens to heed air raid alerts. Additionally, Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukrainian forces had targeted an oil refinery in Russia's Tyumen region. Meanwhile, Russia's defense ministry reported intercepting 187 Ukrainian drones nationwide. These attacks follow Ukraine's recent large-scale drone assault on Moscow, which caused significant disruption.

Russia strikes an apartment building in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv and 1 person is killed

On Saturday, Russian bombs struck an apartment building in Kharkiv, Ukraine, killing at least one person and injuring nine, including a 6-year-old child. The attack occurred in the Kholodnohirskiy district during the early hours, with a body recovered from the rubble later that day. Earlier in the week, a Russian drone had already hit a civilian vehicle in Kharkiv, killing one person and injuring another. Additional strikes were reported in Sumy and Zaporizhzhia, resulting in further casualties and property damage. Russia did not officially comment on these attacks. Meanwhile, Ukraine's air force claimed to have intercepted most of the Russian drones launched overnight, while Russian defenses reportedly repelled a drone attack on an oil refinery in Siberia. Ukraine has been targeting Russian oil infrastructure to disrupt Moscow's war efforts, leading to fuel shortages in some regions.
