Russian drone strikes kill 3, wound 6 in Zaporizhia and Dnipro regions
Russian drone attacks on Ukrainian regions killed at least three people and wounded six others, according to local authorities. The strikes hit the Zaporizhia and Dnipro regions, with one drone exploding in a garden complex and another hitting a truck. The Russian military has intensified attacks on Ukrainian cities in recent weeks, targeting major urban areas including Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odessa with combat drones and ballistic missiles. The attacks have increasingly focused on civilian infrastructure, including bridges, energy facilities, and residential buildings. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilians, citing intercepted intelligence that President Vladimir Putin ordered military leaders to abandon rules of war. The Kremlin denies targeting schools or hospitals, while the EU has released an additional 2.9 billion euros to support Ukraine's financial stability.
