A wave of Russian missile and drone attacks struck Ukraine overnight Saturday and early Sunday morning, military officials across the country said, though the number of casualties appears small.
The city of Kostiantynivka in the eastern region of Donetsk saw one person injured in a “massive” attack, regional police said. Residential buildings, a train station and educational facilities were hit.
The head of the Donetsk regional military administration said Russian forces had shelled the districts of Pokrovsk, Kramatorsk and Bakhmut in a social media post on Sunday, forcing 81 people to evacuate.
The Kyiv region was targeted by drones, but no residences or pieces of critical infrastructure were struck, the region’s military administration said in a statement. No casualties have been reported.
Ukraine’s Air Force Command said its forces destroyed 16 Iranian-made drones launched by Russia toward the regions of Kyiv, Poltava, Khmelnytskyi, Mykolaiv, Kirovohrad, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.
