Multiple casualties reported in Russian attacks on Ukraine.
Once again, Russia unleashes missiles, aerial bombs, and artillery shells towards Ukrainian territories, leading to fatalities and injuries. Multiple regions have reported such incidents. The city of Zaporizhzhia witnessed shelling shortly after President Zelenskyy's visit on Monday evening, claiming the lives of two individuals, including an eight-year-old boy, as mentioned by the region's governor, Ivan Fedorov, via Telegram. A building also sustained damage. During this visit, President Zelenskyy met with the Dutch Prime Minister, Dick Schoof, in the war-torn city.
In the substantial city of Dnipro, a man lost his life, and six others sustained injuries due to missile strikes, as reported by the local administration. There were allegations of a hit on a power transformer station in the region. Since Monday, the northeastern Sumy region has endured Russian aerial bombardments and artillery shelling, which left three civilians injured.
The Sumy region, positioning itself as a vital artery for supplying Ukrainian troops in their offensive against the Russian region of Kursk, has been a prime target. The Ukrainian air force asserted that they successfully downed 27 out of 35 invading Russian combat drones of Iranian origin throughout the night.
After the Ukrainian air force's successful downing of Russian drones in the Sumy region, Shaporich, a significant industrial hub in the area, was left vulnerable to potential attacks. In response to the ongoing conflict, Shaporich has been reinforcing its defenses to protect its crucial infrastructure.
