A Russian missile struck infrastructure in the central city of Dnipro, killing six people and injuring 29 others, according to Dnipropetrovsk regional head Oleksandr Hanzha. Emergency responders rushed to the scene as rescue efforts continued.

Russian drones attacked a passenger minibus in the southern city of Zaporizhzhia, killing three people and injuring six others, including a child. President Zelenskyy shared details of the strike on social media, calling it another example of attacks on civilians.

In Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region, Russian drone strikes killed a 69-year-old woman and a 77-year-old man, according to the National Police. The attacks added to the growing civilian toll from the day's bombardment.

A daytime Russian strike on the northeastern city of Kharkiv killed one person and wounded five others, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said. The city has remained a frequent target of Russian missile and drone attacks.

Authorities also reported deadly attacks in at least six other Ukrainian regions, though further details were not immediately available. Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion more than four years ago, over 16,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed, according to the United Nations, as Moscow's campaign continues to target infrastructure and civilian areas.
