Russian strikes overnight killed two people and injured at least 14 others across Ukraine. In Odesa, a Russian strike destroyed an ordinary private house, killing two civilians and injuring five others. In Rivne, a Russian attack on an apartment building injured six people, including two children. Rescuers evacuated 42 residents. In Vinnytsia, two women were injured in a Russian attack. Private homes, apartment buildings, and a kindergarten were damaged. In Kyiv, a Russian strike hit a hospital, causing a fire and partially destroying the second floor. One person was injured, seven people were rescued and 30 evacuated. In Sumy region, Russian drones hit civilian infrastructure in the Shostka community, causing a fire that spread over 1,000 square metres. In Kharkiv region, Russian drone attacks caused fires at civilian sites, including a postal terminal. Russia continues to spread terror across Ukraine.
