Casualties Across Ukraine
In Kharkiv region, Russian forces killed four civilians — a 78-year-old woman, two 60-year-old men, and a 33-year-old woman — and injured seven others in separate attacks.
In the south, port infrastructure in Odesa was damaged in a ballistic missile strike that also caused casualties.
The escalation is widely seen as retaliation for a series of Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian territory earlier this week.
