Russian strikes wound 14 in Ukraine
Russian night-time strikes on Ukraine wounded 14 people while one person died and four were injured in air attacks in Russia, officials said Saturday. Russian strikes on Friday killed 14 people. Moscow has pummelled Ukraine since its 2022 invasion, mostly at night, but in recent weeks it has stepped up daytime attacks. The Ukrainian air force said Russia fired 286 drones overnight, of which 260 were intercepted. In the northern Sumy region, 11 people were wounded in strikes on residential areas and civilian infrastructure, police said.
Images released by Ukrainian emergency services showed a building whose upper floors were engulfed in flames. Three people were wounded in the eastern Dnipropetrovsk region, including a baby aged five months and a six-year-old boy, Oleksandr Ganja, head of the regional military administration, said on Telegram. In Russia, a missile and drone attack on the southern Rostov region bordering Ukraine, left one person dead and four seriously wounded in the city of Taganrog, regional governor Yuri Slyussar said on Telegram.
He said three local residents and a foreigner were all in critical condition but did not specify the origin of the attacks. On the Sea of Azov, a foreign cargo ship was damaged by falling drone debris and caught fire, he added.
