Russian strikes have resulted in two deaths in Ukraine, according to local authorities, while Russia announced that a woman and a child had died in a Ukrainian drone attack on its territory. In Ukraine, a man was killed and another person injured in a Russian attack on a transportation facility in the Zaporijjia district, as announced by the regional administration head Ivan Fedorov on Telegram.

In the Kharkiv district, a 66-year-old civilian was killed and another 69-year-old man was injured in a drone strike on a car near the village of Tsyrkuny, according to local authorities.

In Russia, two people, a woman and a child, succumbed to a Ukrainian drone attack in Syzran, in the southwest of the country, as announced by the governor of the Samara region on the Max network. “They were extracted from the rubble” of a building, he said, denouncing “yet another inhumane crime against the civilian population.” Located 800 km from the Ukrainian border, the city of Syzran notably houses an oil refinery.
