Dnipro:Eight people, including two children, were injured in the Dnipropetrovsk and Sumy regions of Ukraine following Russian attacks, as reported by Ukrainian authorities. These incidents occurred amid reciprocal strikes between Moscow and Kyiv over the weekend.
According to Anadolu Agency, in the Dnipropetrovsk region, six individuals, including two children, were injured. The attack caused damage to apartment buildings, warehouses, vehicles, and a fire station in Dnipro and nearby communities. Additionally, a Russian drone attack in the Sumy region targeted an emergency medical vehicle, injuring a driver and a paramedic.
Ukraine's Air Force reported that Russia launched 116 attack drones overnight, with Ukrainian air defenses successfully intercepting or suppressing 94 of them. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that a five-story apartment building in Slovyansk was hit, and there may still be individuals trapped under the rubble due to the attack.
President Zelenskyy accused Russia of conducting extensive aerial bombings and missile strikes over the past week. He expressed Ukraine's readiness to halt attacks on Russian oil refineries if Russia ceased its strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, emphasizing the need for reciprocal de-escalation measures backed by real guarantees.
In Russia, a Ukrainian drone strike targeted a Yandex data center in Vladimir, marking the third attack on the company's data centers in a week. Yandex reported a complete halt in data center operations and emergency mode functioning of its platform. In Sochi, debris from a Ukrainian drone caused fires and damage to buildings.
Russia's Defense Ministry claimed to have intercepted or destroyed numerous Ukrainian drones over its territory and struck a data center in Odesa and a vessel at Chornomorsk's port. Claims from both sides remain challenging to verify independently due to the ongoing conflict.
