Four people lost their lives and ten more were wounded as Russian forces launched overnight attacks on Ukraine, officials announced via Telegram in the early morning hours of Friday.
In the Sumy region, which borders Russia, a drone strike hit a residential home, claiming the lives of two women, an elderly man, and a girl not yet two years old. Three additional people were hurt in that attack, according to Oleh Hryhorov, who leads the regional military administration.
Meanwhile, in Kryvyi Rih — a city in central Ukraine and the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelenskiy — a Russian missile slammed into a densely populated urban neighborhood, leaving seven people injured. Oleksandr Vilkul, head of the city’s defence council, confirmed the details of that strike.
Friday has been designated a day of mourning in Kyiv, following a devastating Russian assault on the capital on Thursday that killed at least three dozen people — making it the deadliest attack on Kyiv so far this year.
