Russian drone and missile strikes in Ukraine have killed 10 people and injured at least 76 over the past day. Authorities in five regions of Ukraine reported fatalities across the country as Moscow continues its regular aerial attacks on Ukrainian cities. In Kherson region, three people were killed, while two deaths each were reported in Odesa, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions, and one in Sumy region.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said, an oil terminal in northwest Russia was significantly damaged, and two Russian oil tankers were struck near the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk. While there are no detailed reports on damage to the vessels, Zelensky said they were part of Russia’s so-called shadow fleet used to evade Western sanctions.

On the other hand, Russia said, Ukraine launched at least 334 drones, with the northwestern Leningrad region among the areas heavily targeted. Although Russian authorities have largely downplayed the impact of such attacks, the Kremlin appears increasingly concerned about the growing reach of Ukrainian drones into Russian territory.
