In the Donetsk Oblast of eastern Ukraine, two people were killed and eight others were injured in Russian strikes, according to governor Vadym Filashkin.
And in the northeast of the Ukraine Sumy Oblast, the Russian strikes injured a person, according to the regional administration.
Throughout Ukraine during the night, Russia launched a total of 215 projectiles – 206 drones, two ballistic missiles, six guided aircraft missiles and a cruise missile – of which 174 were neutralized, according to the Ukrainian Air Force.
“There have been strikes throughout Ukraine – in Donetsk, Dnipro, Ternopil, Odesa and other regions,” said the Minister of Foreign Affairs. “People were injured and killed, and the energy infrastructure was also damaged.”
