Russian missiles killed seven people in the Kharkiv and Odessa regions in attacks that hit two energy sites. Ukraine's Energy Ministry previously reported that two energy facilities were hit by nighttime strikes in southern Ukraine.
17 drones and three missiles were fired by Russia overnight. Russian regions bordering Ukraine are targeted almost daily by drone attacks and Ukrainian strikes, carried out in retaliation for the bombing of Ukrainian cities by Russia for more than two years. On Tuesday, two people were killed by Ukrainian artillery fire in the Bryansk region, according to local authorities. In the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine, five civilians were injured by Ukrainian shelling over the past 24 hours in Lyssychansk, a city captured by Russian forces in 2022 in the east. The spokesperson for Russian diplomacy, Maria Zakharova, accused Ukraine in a press release of making Russian journalists “a priority target” with the “tacit agreement” of Westerners. The attack caused power outages in both regions.
