Khaberni - Ukrainian officials confirmed today, Sunday, the deaths of 3 people and injuries to at least 4 others in Russian strikes targeting several areas in Ukraine.
This comes with the ongoing war between the two countries, as Moscow deploys hundreds of drones towards its neighbor on a persistent basis since the beginning of the war in February 2022, while Kyiv targets Russian military and energy facilities.
Ukrainian losses
According to Oleh Syehubov, the head of the regional military administration in Sumy, a Russian drone attack killed two civilians in the Sumy border region in northeastern Ukraine.
In a post on Telegram, he reported that "the enemy hit civilians in the city of Bilopillia, less than 5 kilometers from the border with the Russian Federation," noting that two men aged 48 and 72 were killed.
In the meantime, one person was killed and 4 were injured due to drone attacks and artillery fire in the city of Dnipro (central east) along with damage to homes and vehicles, according to Oleksandr Hanha, an official of the military administration in the region.
