One person was killed and 17 were injured in overnight Russian airstrikes on Ukraine’s eastern Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine reported on Tuesday.
A woman died and eight people, including two children, were injured in an airstrike on the Synelnykove district of Ukraine’s eastern Dnipropetrovsk region, in which a café, an apartment building and cars caught fire. An ambulance was also struck on the way to the city of Nikopol, in the same region, injuring three doctors.
A further six people suffered injuries in Russian airstrikes on the eastern Kharkiv region, the State Emergency Service continued. Two houses, a gas pipe and civilian infrastructure caught fire in the village of Dokuchaevske, while a drone also hit the fire station in nearby Rohan.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones attacked power facilities in at least three Russian regions overnight, according to the Russian Defence Ministry, which reported that 85 drones had been destroyed across the country.
Volgograd region Governor Andrey Bocharov said a drone attack had caused a fire at an electrical substation in the southern Russian region. A drone strike also caused an explosion at a petrochemical complex’s water treatment plant in the city of Sterlitamak, in the Volga region republic of Bashkortostan, according to city Mayor Emil Shaimardanov.
Telegram news channel ASTRA reported that drone activity had led to the temporary closure of airports in the cities of Ufa, Kazan and Nizhnekamsk, while residents of Kstovo, in the central Nizhny Novgorod region, reported explosions followed by the outbreak of fires, which ASTRA said had started at an oil refinery and petrochemical plant, though this has not been confirmed.
