The Ukrainian authorities reported this Thursday the death of at least eight people and dozens of injured after a new series of nighttime attacks by the Armed Forces of Russia against several areas of the country, just a day after the bombings that caused 17 deaths and 50 injuries in Kiev.
The State Emergency Service of Ukraine has indicated that three of the fatalities were recorded in the city of Balaklia, in the Kharkiv region. The projectiles impacted a private area, destroying residential buildings and causing several fires, which have already been extinguished.
The governor of Kharkiv, Oleg Sinegubov, specified that in the last 24 hours about fifteen people have been injured by Russian attacks against about twenty localities and settlements in this eastern province of the country.
In the Dnipropetrovsk region, Governor Oleksandr Ganzha confirmed the death of another five people as a result of the bombings recorded in the cities of Pavlograd and Kamianske, where another ten injuries have also been counted.
In parallel, in the Sumy province, Russian forces have launched up to eight guided bombs against the northern and central areas of the region, of which only one has been intercepted by Ukrainian air defenses. The attack, which lasted for eight minutes, left a dozen injured.
In Kherson, local authorities have reported a new "act of terror against the civilian population" attributed to the Russian Army, after a bus was hit by a drone in the village of Komishani, causing injuries to six people.
Finally, the Ukrainian Air Force has communicated that it has managed to shoot down 66 drones out of just over a hundred unmanned devices and other types of projectiles launched by Russia during the night, including Onyx anti-ship missiles and J-31P anti-radar missiles.
