Russian drone and artillery strikes kill eight across Ukraine

Russian aerial bombardments across multiple Ukrainian regions have killed at least eight people and wounded more than 60 others, according to regional rescue services.

Moscow deployed roughly 180 unmanned aircraft against targets in the Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, Sumy, and Zaporizhzhia regions. Dnipropetrovsk sustained heavy damage, facing nearly 60 individual strikes across five administrative districts over a 24-hour period. Local emergency teams reported five deaths and 16 injuries in Dnipropetrovsk, with fatal casualties recorded in the Kamianske and Pavlohrad districts, alongside additional injuries in Nikopol.

Near Kryvyi Rih, a separate drone strike hit a petrol station, igniting a blaze that killed three individuals, including an eight-year-old child. Emergency personnel mobilized throughout the targeted areas to contain fires and assist victims.
