Five killed in a series of Russian attacks across Ukraine's frontlines
Russian forces carried out multiple attacks on Ukraine's front-line regions on Monday, resulting in at least five deaths.
On Monday, Russian attacks continued along Ukraine's 1,200-km front, causing at least five fatalities. Officials in the northeastern Kharkiv Region said a drone hit the town of Lozova, killing one and injuring three others. Further south, a drone strike in the Dnipropetrovsk region killed a car driver in Nikopol, a city frequently targeted near the occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
In the Donetsk Region, a Russian strike severely damaged an apartment building in the strategic city of Kramatorsk, killing one resident, while another person died in a nearby village. Additionally, a sustained assault on a village in Mykolaiv Region near the Black Sea resulted in the death of a three-year-old child. Both sides deny deliberately targeting civilians, and independent verification of the incidents was not possible.
Why it matters
The attacks highlight the ongoing civilian toll of the Ukraine conflict and the spread of violence across multiple regions.
