A missile strike on a residential building in Odesa claimed two lives. Five others were wounded in the same attack, including three children.

In the city of Sumy, one person was injured, and residential buildings along with civilian infrastructure, such as a library, sustained damage.
The Zaporizhzhia region suffered as well: an airstrike killed two people and left five wounded. In Kharkiv Oblast, three people were injured due to shelling, while one person was hurt in Chernihiv Oblast. Additionally, the Kherson, Donetsk, and Dnipro regions faced ongoing shelling, highlighting the broad scope of the assault.
Overall, according to reports, the enemy launched more than 130 attack drones and 8 missiles across Ukraine overnight, inflicting significant harm on both civilians and infrastructure. These events once again underscore the dangers Ukrainians face amid the ongoing conflict.
This attack reflects Russia's intensifying military operations against Ukraine, which could worsen the humanitarian situation in the affected regions.
Given the increased use of drones and missiles, Ukrainian resistance forces continue to confront new challenges, threatening civilian safety and regional stability. This latest wave of violence highlights the persistent need for international support and defensive measures to protect vulnerable populations.
