Russian missile and drone barrage leaves at least eight dead across Ukraine

Russian forces launched an extensive overnight barrage of ballistic missiles and approximately 180 drones targeting several Ukrainian regions, leaving at least eight people dead and more than 60 wounded.

Regional authorities reported sustained strikes across Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, Sumy, and Zaporizhzhia. In the Dnipropetrovsk region alone, emergency services recorded nearly 60 strikes across five districts, resulting in at least five fatalities and 16 injuries across Kamianske, Pavlohrad, and Nikopol.

Strikes in and near Kryvyi Rih hit industrial facilities and a petrol station, causing multiple casualties, including the death of an eight-year-old child. Emergency responders also extinguished several fires ignited by aerial impacts in the capital, Kyiv, as rescue operations continued across affected areas.
