Recent military actions across Ukraine have resulted in further casualties and infrastructure damage. Overnight Russian attacks in the Zaporizhzhia oblast caused three fatalities and eighteen injuries. Local authorities in Dnipro reported four deaths from Russian bombardments, while three people were wounded in Dnipropetrovsk and ten in Sumy. Kyiv's military administration also confirmed at least two injuries from a Russian aerial assault. These incidents led to power disruptions in the Sumy, Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions. Concurrently, Moscow's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, stated that Russian air defenses intercepted 46 Ukrainian drones targeting the capital early Tuesday, with no immediate reports of damage or injuries. Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated his willingness to engage in discussions with American representatives once Washington's focus shifts from Iran, affirming, "We are ready to continue negotiations and the discussion of all the details."
