Al Jazeera · back to the audit
An overnight Russian attack on an apartment building has killed two people in Ukraine's northeastern city of Kharkiv as Moscow also keeps up its attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. The attack killed a 50-year-old man and a 66-year-old man; at least 21 people were wounded. In the southern region of Kherson, Russian artillery killed a 61-year-old woman in the Berislavsky district early on Sunday, according to the regional prosecutor's office. In the Dnipropetrovsk region's city of Pavlohrad, an "absolutely wicked" attack near a shopping mall wounded nine people, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on X. At least eight people were injured in Odesa as residential buildings and the port sustained damage. "This is, in particular, how Russia is systematically waging war against global food security," Zelenskyy said, referring to the Odesa port's role in exporting grain around the world. Ukrainian drone attacks killed three civilians overnight in Belgorod, TASS reported. Russian forces launched a barrage of ballistic, antiship and anti-radar missiles overnight as well as more than 200 Shahed drones, Ukraine's air force wrote on Telegram. Missile and drone attacks were recorded at 22 locations and so were the remnants of downed missiles at six sites.
