Russian drone strike injures three-year-old girl in Poltava Oblast

A Russian drone struck the Kremenchuk district in Ukraine's Poltava Oblast on 4 September, leaving a three-year-old girl injured, according to reports.

Poltava Oblast lies in central Ukraine, at a significant distance from the active front line, yet it has repeatedly come under Russian drone and missile attacks in recent months.

Further details about the child's condition or the precise circumstances of the strike have not yet been made public. The incident reflects a broader pattern of Russian attacks reaching deep into Ukrainian territory, affecting civilians, including children, far from the front lines.
