Russian attacks on Ukraine overnight and early Sunday killed at least two people and injured seven others, regional authorities said.
Among the attacks was a drone strike on a maternity hospital in the southern city of Zaporizhzhia that injured two women undergoing a medical examination, the region's governor and rescuers said.
The attacks came the same day a unilateral reduction in Russian strikes on Ukraine announced by U.S. President Donald Trump was due to end.
Trump said Thursday that Putin had agreed to stop strikes on Kyiv and "various towns" due to cold weather. The terms of his agreement with Putin were not clear and the Kremlin did not link the alleged truce to the weather.
"Russians have struck a maternity hospital in Zaporizhzhia," regional Governor Ivan Fedorov said in a post on Telegram earlier Sunday. "The number of victims has already increased to six people," he added later.
Hours earlier, a man and a woman in the central city of Dnipro "died due to an enemy UAV strike," the head of the regional military administration, Oleksandr Ganzha, said on Telegram.
Russian shelling of the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson early Sunday injured a 59-year-old woman, authorities said.
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.
