Officials from both sides said Russia and Ukraine launched new drone attacks on each other overnight, causing injury and loss in multiple regions.
Ukrainian authorities reported strikes in several areas. Regional Governor Serhiy Lysak said in Dnipro City, 15 people were injured, 15 private homes, as well as several multi-storey residential and commercial buildings.
In the eastern Donetsk region, Governor Vadym Filashkin reported five people were injured in Russian attacks in various communities.
In the northeastern city of Kharkiv, two people were injured after the local prosecutor was described as a massive drone attack. The fire broke out, and shops and residential buildings were reportedly damaged.
Russia: More than 150 Ukrainian drone interceptions
Russia’s defense ministry said in a telegram that it had intercepted 158 Ukrainian drones overnight, affecting several regions. It does not specify any degree of damage.
The governor said in the Orenburg area near Kazakhstan that although no casualties or damage were reported, there was a military airport.
The Russian Telegraph Channel also claimed to have launched attacks on Modsdok Air Force Base in the North Caucasus and Engels Air Force Base in Volgal in western Russia. These reports cannot be verified independently.
Russian airports are temporarily closed
Russian aviation authorities said that due to safety issues, takeoff and landing at airports in Volgagrad, Saratov, Ulyanovsk, Ulyanovsk and Grozny were suspended for several hours. Such restrictions have become a common restriction in Ukrainian drone attacks.
