Russia, Ukraine exchange overnight strikes that leave 7 dead, many injured
At least 7 people were killed and dozens injured as Russian and Ukrainian strikes hit civilian areas and military sites overnight, officials said.
Russia and Ukraine exchanged overnight strikes that killed civilians and injured many others on both sides, according to local authorities.
Russian missiles struck a high-rise apartment block in Kharkiv's Saltivskyi district, killing two and injuring 13, while an attack in Odesa injured eight others after "dozens of missiles and drones" struck the region, according to regional head Oleh Syniehubov and local administration head Oleh Kiper.
In the Belgorod region, Ukrainian drone strikes killed five people and damaged residential and administrative buildings, according to the regional administration.
Claims from the Russian defense ministry indicate its forces shot down 153 Ukrainian drones overnight, alleging strikes hit drone warehouses in Kharkiv and fuel depots in Odesa.
Large-Scale Russian strikes have become routine as Moscow exploits Ukraine's critical shortage of US-made Patriot interceptors, prompting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to lobby international partners for more defense equipment.
