Russian attacks killed three people in the Dnipropetrovsk and Poltava regions in eastern Ukraine, local authorities said on Sunday.
Moscow and Kyiv have escalated attacks on each other in recent weeks, as U.S.-led talks on ending the conflict that began in February 2022 remain effectively frozen.
"One person was killed and nine were wounded" in Russian strikes in three districts of Dnipropetrovsk, head of the Regional Military Administration Oleksandr Ganzha wrote on Telegram.
The fatality was a 70-year-old woman in the Nikopol district, according to Ganzha.
Vitali Dyakivnych, head of the Poltava Regional Military Administration, said a Russian strike on Saturday evening killed two people and wounded 13, including six children.
Russia's Defense Ministry said it had shot down 239 Ukrainian drones overnight.
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.
Remind me later.
