Recent drone attacks in Ukraine's eastern and southern regions killed three people, including a mother and her young son, and injured several others. Significant infrastructure damage was reported in Kharkiv, Odesa, and Dnipropetrovsk. The attacks are part of an ongoing conflict following the Russian invasion in 2022.
Overnight Russian drone attacks have caused tragic loss of life and left scores injured in various parts of Ukraine, officials reported. Among the victims were a mother and her young son, who perished in Kharkiv's Bohodukhiv town.
The conflict, persisting since the Russian invasion in 2022, has seen sporadic violence, with Odesa being another target. The drone strike there resulted in one casualty and multiple injuries, according to regional governor Oleh Kiper. The attack inflicted significant structural damage, including to residential infrastructure and a gas pipeline.
