Summary

  • At least six people were killed across Ukraine overnight and Sunday, including deaths in Kyiv, Odesa and Sumy, as Russian drone and guided-bomb attacks hit multiple regions.
  • Kyiv officials said a drone strike killed one person in the capital overnight, later attacks on its outskirts killed another and wounded at least five, and Zelenskyy said a separate strike hit a Kyiv data center, injuring three.
  • Sumy regional authorities said Russian guided bombs killed a woman and a 16-year-old girl and wounded five, while Odesa officials reported one death and two injuries after repeated overnight attacks.
  • In Russian-occupied Enerhodar, Kremlin-installed officials said a Ukrainian strike killed one civilian woman and wounded two near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, where damaged power lines remain a recurring safety concern.
  • The attacks came hours after Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed German calls for de-escalation at a U.N. meeting, underscoring how the aerial war is intensifying even as front lines remain largely unchanged.
