Russia launched heavy overnight missile and drone strikes Saturday on central and southeastern Ukraine, killing one person and injuring 24, including two children. Zaporizhia suffered damage to homes and businesses, while explosions were reported in Dnipro and Pavlohrad, according to Al Jazeera.
Ukraine’s air force said it intercepted most of the 537 drones and 45 missiles but confirmed several hits. The attacks come as Russian troops push into Dnipropetrovsk, a region previously spared major fighting.
In response, Ukraine struck oil refineries in Krasnodar and Samara, triggering fires and explosions, Al Jazeera reported.
