Russia, Ukraine each report one dead in strikes
Moscow/Kiev
At least one person was killed and five others were injured in a Russian drone attack on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro, authorities reported on Thursday.
It comes as Russia's TASS news agency reported the death of a woman and three injured in overnight drone attacks in Russia. Several fires broke out following the Russian attack on Dnipro, according to Serhiy Lysak, the military governor of the south-eastern Ukrainian region. He also reported five people injured in the city of Nikopol during a drone attack. Of the total 10 injured in the region, eight are being treated in hospital and two as outpatients, Lysak posted on Telegram.
The Ukrainian Air Force said a total of 64 Russian drone attacks had occurred overnight, significantly fewer than in recent days. It added that 36 of these drones had been destroyed. There were 23 impacts at five different locations, the air force wrote, without giving details. It said five of the drones were decoys without explosives.
The Ministry of Defence in Moscow reported that 122 drones had been intercepted overnight, including in the Moscow region, and in the Bryansk region bordering Ukraine especially. In the western city of Voronezh, three minors were injured when debris from downed drones struck a residential building, TASS cited Governor Aleksandr Gusev as saying. Authorities in the Kaluga and Smolensk regions also reported damage, with a total of two people injured.
In Moscow, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said three drones heading toward the capital were intercepted during the night, TASS reported, citing his Telegram channel.
'Air-defence forces detected and destroyed at least five unmanned aerial vehicles over Voronezh and its neighbourhoods,' Gusev said on Telegram, adding that at least four apartments were damaged.
TASS also reported that a woman had died after a Ukrainian drone dropped an explosive device on a single-family house in the Russian border region of Belgorod, citing Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov.
