Ukraine Under Fire – Page 3

A Shahed drone struck a depot in Dnipro, with the moment of impact captured on video. Before hitting the target, the drone clipped and tore down overhead contact lines.

Russia launched a mass overnight drone-and-missile attack across Ukraine, with Kyiv, Odesa, Dnipro, and Kharkiv among the hardest-hit cities. Ukrainian officials said Kyiv was struck in four districts, with at least a dozen people killed nationwide, including a 12-year-old child in the capital, while dozens more were wounded. Residential buildings, civilian infrastructure, and non-residential sites were damaged as emergency crews fought fires across multiple locations. In Kyiv, debris hit a multi-story residential building, and another strike caused a fire on the first floor of a separate apartment building. Odesa reported seven dead and 11 injured in multiple waves of attack, while Dnipro and Kharkiv also suffered casualties and damage to homes, vehicles, and infrastructure. Explosions and strike reports also came from other regions as Russia carried out one of its largest recent aerial assaults on civilian areas.

This footage captures the moment six guided aerial bombs were dropped in the area of the Pechenihy Reservoir dam in Kharkiv region, raising fears of a possible environmental disaster at a time when the water level had already reached its maximum. At the same time, Ukrainian officials state that the dam itself was not damaged. The strike is being described as another act of terror targeting critical infrastructure and civilians.
