Moscow, Kyiv trade deadly attacks
Russia's strikes on Ukraine killed one person in the central city of Dnipro. (Ukrainian emergency service/AP pic) KYIV : Russia and Ukraine traded another wave of drone strikes overnight, both sides said today, in attacks that killed and wounded people on either side of the frontline. Moscow has carried out nightly drone and missile barrages on Ukraine since launching its invasion in February 2022, with Kyiv responding with increasingly long-range strikes inside Russia as well as its own attacks on border areas. Russian President Vladimir Putin has rejected calls for a ceasefire and escalated his army's strikes, defying US President Donald Trump's pledge of fresh weapons for Ukraine and harsh sanctions if a peace deal is not struck soon. Russia's defence ministry said its air defences shot down 122 drones overnight, most of them in border regions. In Russia's Belgorod border region, 'a woman was killed when an explosive device was dropped from a drone onto a private house', governor Vyacheslav Gladkov wrote on Telegram. He said three civilians had been killed a day earlier. And in the Voronezh region, which also borders Ukraine, three teens were wounded when falling drone debris struck a building, regional governor Alexander Gusev wrote on Telegram. Russia's strikes on Ukraine killed one person in the central city of Dnipro, governor Sergiy Lysak said. Russia launched 64 drones, mostly targeting the central Dnipropetrovsk region, which includes Dnipro, according to Ukraine's air force. It said it had shot down or disabled 41 of them. That was far down on recent nights, where hundreds of self-exploding attack drones have been fired at the country. Ukraine also said three people were killed and at least 27 wounded in a Russian airstrike on the frontline town of Dobropillia a day earlier.

Children injured in Ukrainian drone strike in southern Russia (PHOTOS)
At least three children were injured after a Ukrainian drone crashed into a residential building in the southern Russian city of Voronezh early Thursday morning, according to local authorities. Voronezh Region Governor Aleksandr Gusev said that Russian air defenses detected and destroyed at least five drones over the city and its suburbs overnight – but one of the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) struck the upper floors of a high-rise apartment block on Aivazovsky Street. 'Two boys born in 2009 and 2013 were hospitalized with head injuries and abrasions,' Gusev reported. 'A girl born in 2009 sustained cuts to her arms and legs and was treated at the scene.' Residents reported hearing a loud buzz followed by an explosion around 3am local time. Eyewitnesses described the drone flying low over rooftops before crashing into the building, causing smoke and dust to pour from the upper floors. Emergency response crews were dispatched immediately, and authorities have begun arranging temporary shelter for displaced residents of at least four apartments damaged in the incident. A large impact hole was visible on the 16th floor of the building, and several parked vehicles were damaged by falling debris, according to photos shared on social media. The strike marks the second drone attack on Voronezh in less than three days. On Tuesday, a larger wave of UAVs injured 24 civilians – including four children – and caused extensive damage to residential and commercial buildings. Ukraine has been conducting UAV raids deep into Russia for months, often hitting residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure. The Russian government labels Ukraine's strikes as 'terrorist attacks' intentionally targeting civilians.

VIDEOS show moment Ukrainian drone strikes Russian residential building
Two videos circulating online appear to show the moment a Ukrainian drone struck a residential building in the Russian city of Voronezh during a raid early Tuesday. According to Voronezh Region Governor Aleksandr Gusev, the attack involved multiple explosive-laden drones and left 24 people injured. A 56-year-old man is in a coma and two other victims are in serious condition, Gusev said in his latest public update. A dashcam video shared by Russian media appears to show the drone diving into a five-story residential building in central Voronezh, around 1km from the regional government headquarters. The video shows an explosion following the impact. Another clip shot from a more distant residential tower apparently shows the same strike from afar. Gusev said the drone raid involved multiple aircraft and damaged 12 apartment blocs, three standalone private homes, and other property including a business center. Earlier in the day, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that 55 Ukrainian drones launched overnight into Russia were intercepted, with more than half downed over Belgorod Region, which borders Ukraine. The Russian authorities have accused Kiev of resorting to attacks on civilian infrastructure due to military setbacks. Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky reiterated on Sunday the intention to 'bring the war to Russian territory,' saying his government is planning additional long-range strikes.
