Overnight, Russian attacks in southeastern Ukraine claimed the lives of six civilians and injured 19 others in the region of Zaporizhzhia. According to local officials, these attacks included long-range missiles as part of a broader strategy aimed at overwhelming Ukraine's air defenses, with Kyiv currently experiencing a shortage of Patriot interceptors. The capital city also witnessed damage from a ballistic missile attack, which caused injuries and affected a children's hospital in the Shevchenkivskyi district, resulting in a fire at a nearby warehouse. Elsewhere in Mykolaiv, an elderly woman was injured following a Russian drone attack. Russia's Ministry of Defence asserted that its overnight attacks targeted defense industry facilities and transport and logistics centers in both Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia. Meanwhile, an overnight Ukrainian drone strike reportedly killed one person and injured two in the Voronezh region of Russia, causing fires at warehouse facilities. This comes as Russia has been intensifying ballistic missile attacks on Ukrainian cities in recent weeks, with Ukraine increasing strikes deep inside Russian territory.
