At least 15 people were killed in reciprocal drone strikes on Ukrainian territory, with the dead including five children in an overnight attack on Kyrylivka in Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia.
Russian-installed officials said 12 people died and 19 were wounded at the Sea of Azov resort near Melitopol, accusing Ukraine of deliberately hitting civilians; Kyiv did not immediately comment.
In Sumy, a Russian drone strike killed three Nova Poshta drivers and set a building on fire, while Ukrainian officials called the site a civilian courier facility and Moscow said it was a drone storage and launch point.
The attacks followed Volodymyr Zelenskyy's warning late Friday that intelligence pointed to a large-scale Russian assault, underscoring a summer rise in civilian deaths as both sides deny targeting civilians.
Romania said it shot down another drone near the Ukrainian border, highlighting how the war's expanding drone campaign is repeatedly spilling into NATO airspace.
