Massive Russian wave of attacks across Ukraine: Dozens of dead and wounded

Over the past day, a series of deadly Russian attacks across Ukraine have been reported, using UAVs, artillery, and guided bombs. According to data from ZN.UA, which condemns Russian aggression in its coverage, at least five people were killed and 13 wounded in the Zaporizhzhia region alone, where 846 attacks were recorded in 50 different settlements over the past day.

In the Sumy region, particularly difficult incidents were reported. Ukraine NOW reported artillery strikes in the city of Sumy that led to six wounded. At the same time, Цензор.НЕТ emphasized that rescue forces were caught in a "double tap" strike by the Russian military while extinguishing a fire in the Shostka district, which led to a fire truck being set on fire. The National Police forces noted that one person was killed and 13 others were injured across the Sumy region, including a three-year-old toddler.

In the Dnipropetrovsk region, the death of a 70-year-old woman and nine wounded were reported as a result of more than 20 separate attacks. Дніпро Оперативний detailed that the damage includes severe hits to educational institutions, including lyceums and gymnasiums. In the Poltava region, the situation is no different; according to UA Stream, an attack on industrial facilities left two dead and 14 wounded, including six children.

Additional reports from Ми Україна point to significant damage to infrastructure in the Kirovohrad, Odesa, and Kharkiv regions as well, where a drone hit a 12-story residential building in the Kyivskyi district. All reporting Ukrainian sources emphasize the deliberate nature of the strikes on civilian infrastructure and housing, with an emphasis that Russia's actions are defined as "attacks on the civilian population."
