Russian forces launched a new wave of attacks on Ukraine overnight, killing two people and wounding more than 40 in an airstrike on Kharkiv, while also striking a bridge in Kyiv; 18 more people were hurt in strikes across three other regions.
Russian forces carried out a fresh series of attacks against Ukraine overnight, hitting several regions and leaving casualties in multiple cities.
Strike on Kharkiv
The heaviest toll was in Kharkiv, where a Russian airstrike killed two people. Alongside the fatalities, 42 people were wounded in the attack.
Bridge targeted in Kyiv
Russian forces also struck the Northern Bridge in Kyiv, making it one of the targets hit in the capital during the overnight assault. The source report does not specify the extent of damage to the bridge.
Three regions affected
Beyond Kharkiv and Kyiv, people were injured in Russian strikes across three other Ukrainian regions, with a combined total of 18 people wounded there.
Ukraine denies embassy evacuation reports
Ukraine's Foreign Ministry rejected a report by the British newspaper The Guardian claiming that foreign embassies were being evacuated from Kyiv. Ukrainian officials denied the claim, saying no diplomatic missions were being withdrawn from the capital.
The overnight attacks underscore Russia's continued intensive strikes across Ukrainian territory, targeting both major cities and infrastructure, including bridges.
