Several people injured in Russian attack in Ukraine's northeast, Kyiv officials say
Several people injured in Russian attack in Ukraine's northeast, Kyiv officials say Russian forces launched a massive drone attack overnight that injured several people, including two teenagers, in Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region, local officials said on Friday. Eight people, including two 16-year-olds, were injured in an attack in the village of Vasyliv Khutir, Governor Oleh Syniehubov said. He gave no further details. The Ukrainian Air Force said that Russia launched 90 drones and two ballistic missiles overnight against Ukraine that targeted the Kharkiv, Odesa and Donetsk regions. The Kharkiv region's main city also came under Russian drone attack which targeted a trolleybus depot and injured two people, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said. "Today, Kharkiv suffered another attack: the enemy fired 8 'shaheds' at one of the depots where our trolleybuses were being repaired and maintained," he said on the Telegram messaging app. He added that more than 30 nearby apartment buildings were damaged, while one trolleybus was completely destroyed, and 18 others sustained varying degrees of damage. Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city situated some 30 km (19 miles) from the country's northeastern border, has been a repeated target of Russian air attacks. Reuters could not independently verify the reports. There was no immediate comment from Russia. Both sides deny targeting civilians in the war that Russia started with its full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than three years ago.

Russian drone attacks dip in intensity after three nights of massive bombardment
The air force said Russia's latest drone attack hit targets in nine locations and used 60 drones. A 17-year-old boy was among 10 people who were injured overnight and early on Tuesday, officials said. The earlier attacks – which the Ukrainian Air Force said included a record barrage of 355 drones on Sunday night – prompted U.S. President Donald Trump to say that Russian President Vladimir Putin had 'gone absolutely CRAZY' and threaten sanctions. KYIV (Reuters) -Russia launched 60 drones at Ukraine overnight, injuring several people, officials in Kyiv said on Tuesday, indicating a sharp decrease in the intensity of Moscow's attacks after it conducted three nights of massive aerial bombardment. 'Air defence forces were working during the night in Dnipropetrovsk,' Serhiy Lysak, governor of the central-eastern region, said on the Telegram messaging app. The latter attack sparked a fire in a private house and an outbuilding in one district and destroyed an agricultural enterprise, a private house and a car in another, he said. A 59-year-old man was injured in a morning drone attack on the southern city of Kherson, the military administration said, while in a separate drone attack close to 8 a.m. (0500 GMT), six city employees were injured. The city regularly comes under Russian shelling and drone attacks. In the northeastern city of Sumy, a drone strike sparked a fire in a building of an industrial enterprise. An airstrike damaged at least seven private and one two-storey buildings and cars in another area, the military administration said. There were no casualties, it added. Russia, which began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, did not immediately comment on the reports. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has repeatedly called for the West to step up sanctions pressure on Russia to force it to accept the need for peace.

Three killed in Russian overnight drone strikes on Ukraine
Russian overnight drone attacks on Ukraine have killed three people and injured 27 across nine regions, including Sumy, Kharkiv and Donetsk. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that out of 90 drones launched by Russian forces overnight, 10 were successfully shot down. Another 46 drones were either stopped by electronic warfare systems or vanished from radar screens. Local Ukrainian law enforcement reported more than 2,000 strikes along the front line and in residential neighbourhoods, causing damage to buildings and homes. In Sumy region's city of Bilopillia, a Russian drone strike killed one person and wounded another, local authorities confirmed. Donetsk region's Governor Vadym Filashkin reported that one was killed and 13 injured in the village of Rivne during the attacks. The attacks also damaged a building of the Sloviansk Pedagogical Lyceum, located within the campus of the Donbas State Pedagogical University. "We thought it would be one or two strikes, but they just kept coming, one after another. In total, we counted 13. But the thirteenth flew over and didn't explode - it just landed somewhere," said Oleksandr, a resident of Sloviansk. In the Zaporizhzhia region, a Russian-guided aerial bomb targeted the village of Verkhnia Tersa, killing one person and injuring another, according to Governor Ivan Fedorov. The attack destroyed five houses, damaged 50 more, and left approximately 600 households without power. Russian forces also struck the Nikopol district in the Dnipropetrovsk region, injuring two residents. Meanwhile, in the Kherson region, Russian attacks hit 40 settlements, including the regional capital Kherson, causing injuries to 10 people, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin stated.
