The Russia-Ukraine war is intensifying as fresh strikes kill civilians on both sides. A Russian attack near Kharkiv killed three people, while Ukrainian drone debris in Russia’s Krasnodar region killed two children and injured others. The latest attacks highlight how the war’s deadly reach continues to expand beyond the front lines. 

Russian forces launched a fresh wave of strikes across Ukraine, hitting civilian targets in Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, and the Kharkiv region. In Odesa, a strike on a bus depot set multiple passenger buses on fire, damaged homes and vehicles, and left civilians injured. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attacks, accusing Russia of targeting civilian infrastructure as emergency crews battled the flames.
