KYIV, Ukraine, Aug 9, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Russian strikes killed two people and wounded dozens across Ukraine overnight Saturday and Sunday, and a Ukrainian drone attack killed three people in Russia's Belgorod region. The two people killed by a Russian drone strike were in the major northeastern city of Kharkiv. Twenty-three people were also injured, according to regional governor Oleg Synegoubov. Eight people were also injured overnight in Odesa, where strikes damaged the power grid, the port, and residential buildings. A Ukrainian drone attack on the border city of Belgorod killed three people. Twenty-five people, including children aged four and nine, were also injured. "More pressure, more sanctions against Russia and more air defence for Ukraine are needed," Zelensky said. Zelensky condemned "ballistic terror" and an "absolutely brutal" strike near a shopping centre in Pavlohrad. Nine people, including four children, were injured there.
