Russia has launched a third consecutive day of attacks on Ukraine, with Ukrainian officials confirming the latest assault occurred overnight. A six-hour air raid alert was issued in Kyiv, with some damage reported but no casualties.
The region’s military administration stated that three districts were affected by a combined drone and missile attack, while Russian drone strikes caused fires and destruction in private households in the southern Odesa region. However, all fires have been extinguished.
In the western Khmelnytskyi region, a 14-year-old boy was injured in an attack, despite preliminary reports indicating no civilian casualties. Other regions, including northeastern Ukraine’s Kharkiv area and central Cherkasy, have also come under Russian attack with explosions reported.
The Kremlin has maintained that it is conducting a “special military operation” in Ukraine but has yet to comment on the latest attacks.
