Russia conducted a series of missile and drone strikes overnight, targeting northern and eastern Ukraine, which left at least 29 people injured, according to Ukrainian military and local officials.
The strikes hit frontline regions including Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Donetsk. Ukraine's air force reported the attacks via Telegram, highlighting the ongoing escalation in the conflict.
Russia has been pummeling Ukrainian border regions with strikes, and Kyiv said its surprise incursion earlier this month into Russia's Kursk region aimed to hinder Moscow's ability to stage such attacks.
"Most of the missiles did not reach their targets," the air force said, adding that Russia launched an Iskander-M ballistic missile, an Iskander-K cruise missile, and six guided air missiles. It did not specify how many missiles were destroyed.
A missile attack on the northern region of Sumy killed one person, injuring at least 16 more, including three children, local authorities said on Telegram.
Oleh Sinehubov, governor of the Kharkiv region in the east, posted on Telegram that at least 13 people were injured in the Russian attacks, including a 4-year-old child.
Ihor Terekhov, mayor of Kharkiv city, said a gas pipeline was damaged in the city, and at least two houses were destroyed and 10 damaged.
