Ukraine says Russian missiles kill five in southeast
A Russian missile attack has killed at least five people and wounded more than 20 in the industrial city of Samar in Ukraine's southeast, officials say, the second strike on the city in three days.
At least four of the wounded were in severe condition and were taken to hospital, regional governor Serhiy Lysak said on the Telegram messaging app on Friday.
Officials gave no immediate details on damage in the city, where an attack on an unidentified infrastructure facility on Tuesday killed two people.
Hundreds of kilometres to the south, in the Kherson region, authorities urged residents to prepare for extended periods without power after a Russian attack hit a key energy facility.
Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said on Telegram that "Russians decided to plunge the region into darkness".
In recent weeks Russia has stepped up attacks on Ukrainian cities, particularly its capital Kyiv, more than three years into the war that followed its full-scale invasion.
The Ukrainian air force said Russia had launched 363 long-range drones and eight missiles overnight into Friday, targeting a small western city of Starokostiantyniv, home to an important air base.
There were no details on damage.
The air force said its defences had stopped all but four of the drones and downed six cruise missiles.
Russia's Defence Ministry, meanwhile, said 39 Ukrainian drones were downed in several regions overnight, including 19 over the Rostov region and 13 over the Volgograd region.
Both regions lie east of Ukraine.
Long-range drone strikes have been a hallmark of the war, now in its fourth year.
The race by both sides to develop increasingly sophisticated and deadlier drones has turned the war into a testing ground for new weaponry.

One killed and 11 wounded in intense Israeli strikes on south Lebanon
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here Israel's air force carried out intense airstrikes on mountains overlooking a southern city in Lebanon on Friday (local time), in an attack that the Israeli military said targeted underground assets of the Hezbollah militant group. Shortly afterwards, an apartment building in the nearby city of Nabatieh was struck, killing one woman, wounding 11 and knocking out the building's top floor, according to Lebanon's state news agency. The state-run National News Agency reported that the woman killed lived in Germany and had come back to Lebanon less than a month earlier to visit family. People gather next to a car that was damaged in an Israeli airstrike in Nabatieh town, south Lebanon. (AP) It wasn't immediately clear if she was a German citizen. The woman's apartment was hit by an Israeli drone strike, according to the report. The Israeli army, in a statement posted on X, denied targeting a civilian building. The statement said the building was hit by a Hezbollah rocket that had been stored at another location that was targeted by an airstrike and "launched, and exploded as a result." It blamed Hezbollah for storing weapons near residential areas. Since the 14-month Israel-Hezbollah war ended with a US-brokered ceasefire in November, Israel has carried out almost daily airstrikes on southern Lebanon.

"We are steadfast no matter how much you bomb us with your fighter jets and drones," Hassan Ghandour, a Shiite cleric from Nabatieh, told The Associated Press at the scene of the building. Lebanon's president and prime minister condemned the Israeli strikes on south Lebanon, saying they violated the ceasefire deal. The airstrikes on the mountains overlooking Nabatieh came in two waves, and bunker busters were used, Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported. NNA said that four people were slightly wounded in the airstrikes outside the city. A bulldozer clears rubble near a destroyed building that was hit in an Israeli airstrike in Nabatieh town. (AP) The Israeli military said in a statement that its fighter jets struck a site used by Hezbollah to manage its fire and defence array in the area and is part of a significant underground project that was completely taken out of use. The Israeli army said that it identified rehabilitation attempts by Hezbollah beforehand and struck infrastructure sites in the area. There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah. Hezbollah suffered significant losses on the battlefield during the war, which left more than 4000 people dead in Lebanon and caused destruction amounting to $11 billion. In Israel, 127 people died, including 80 soldiers. A man checks his destroyed house that was hit in an Israeli airstrike in Nabatieh town. (AP) As part of the ceasefire deal, Hezbollah was pushed away from areas bordering Israel in south Lebanon and isn't allowed to have an armed presence south of the Litani River. Friday's airstrikes were north of the river. CONTACT US
