Ukraine said it destroyed most of the 45 attack drones launched by Russia overnight, with little damage reported on Sunday morning.
The announcement comes a day after authorities announced seven were killed in a Russian attack that set a petrol station ablaze in Ukraine's second-biggest city, Kharkiv.
"Overnight the occupiers launched 45 attack drones... As a result of combat work, 40 enemy Shahed (UAV) were destroyed," the Ukrainian Air Force said on Telegram.
Falling debris lightly wounded a 39-year-old man in the southern region of Dnipro, Governor Serhiy Lysak said.
Authorities from the capital Kyiv and the central Cherkasy region said there was preliminary no damage.
But aerial guided bombs targeted the village of Vodyane, in the Kharkiv region, killing a 56-year-old woman, Governor Oleh Syniehubov said.
The day before, his region had seen seven killed after a Russian drone attack hit a petrol station, spilling burning fuel down the neighboring street.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
