Russian drone and artillery strikes across multiple Ukrainian regions have killed at least eight people and injured more than 60, according to local authorities.

Russian forces conducted extensive aerial and artillery attacks across several Ukrainian regions over a 24-hour period, leaving at least eight people dead and more than 60 wounded.

According to regional reports, approximately 180 drones targeted areas across Odesa, Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipropetrovsk. In the Dnipropetrovsk region alone, Russian units struck five districts nearly 60 times, killing five individuals and wounding 16 others across the Kamianske, Pavlohrad, and Nikopol areas.

Separately, a drone strike struck a petrol station near Kryvyi Rih, claiming three lives, including an eight-year-old child. Emergency crews worked throughout the impacted zones to assist survivors and assess infrastructure damage.
