Russian drone strikes kill eight and injure dozens across Ukraine

Russian forces launched an extensive series of drone and artillery strikes across multiple Ukrainian regions, killing at least eight people and leaving more than 60 wounded, according to local authorities.

Approximately 180 unmanned aerial vehicles targeted infrastructure in the Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Odesa, and Sumy regions. Dnipropetrovsk was heavily affected, enduring nearly 60 attacks across five separate districts. Firefighters and emergency personnel confirmed five fatalities and 16 injuries across the Kamianske, Pavlohrad, and Nikopol areas.

In a related strike near Kryvyi Rih, a drone hit a petrol station, resulting in three deaths, including an eight-year-old child. Emergency response teams deployed to multiple locations to extinguish resulting fires and transport the wounded to nearby medical centers.
