Russian forces continued their assaults across Ukraine, resulting in further casualties and infrastructure damage. Overnight strikes in the Zaporizhzhia oblast killed three people and injured eighteen, while three others were wounded in Dnipropetrovsk and ten in Sumy. Local authorities in Dnipro reported four fatalities from recent bombardments. Additionally, at least two people were injured in a Russian aerial attack on Kyiv on Sunday.
