Russian drones and cruise missiles were used in a significant attack on Ukraine overnight, resulting in damage to energy infrastructure in several regions. The attack left at least four people injured, including a 7-year-old girl, when two buildings and a bus were hit in Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. In Vinnytsia oblast, a downed Russian drone caused a fire at an important infrastructure facility while around twenty buildings were hit in the Zaporizhzhia region.
Ukrainian Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko confirmed that energy infrastructure in Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kirovohrad, and Ivano-Frankivsk oblasts was targeted in the attack. Efforts are underway to assess and repair the damage. On Friday, Russian forces carried out 24 separate attacks on the Ukrainian oblast of Sumy, with 131 strikes throughout the day. Several communities are under threat as explosives dropped from drones targeted two communities with no casualties or injuries reported.
The situation remains tense as Ukraine faces ongoing attacks from Russian troops. Border villages were subjected to mortar, drone and artillery attacks by Russian forces throughout the day with no casualties or injuries reported. As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalates it is crucial to stay informed about developments and support efforts to bring peace to the region. Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine during this challenging time.
