Two men killed in Russian attacks on Kherson Oblast

While Ukrainian drones have penetrated Moscow’s air defenses before, this time they hit a wide range of targets, including industrial plants and an oil refinery.

Eighteen people were injured in Odesa after Russian drone strikes hit residential buildings overnight.

Russian drones have hit two ships in the Black Sea approaching ports in Ukraine’s Odesa region, including a Chinese-owned cargo vessel, one day before Russian President Vladimir Putin heads to Beijing to meet Xi Jinping.

Both Ukraine and Russia regularly launch drone and missile attacks at each other’s territory, with officials in Kyiv justifying their strikes as retaliation for Russia’s full-scale invasion and ongoing occupation of Ukrainian territory.
