At least five people were killed and several others injured in overnight attacks across Russia and Ukraine on Sunday, 25 October, as officials reported strikes on residential areas and industrial facilities, while Moscow claimed to have targeted logistics infrastructure and a cargo vessel.
In Russia, authorities reported three deaths in the Belgorod region and two in Bryansk, while five workers were injured at an industrial facility in Perm.
Over in Ukraine, the country's State Emergency Service reported injuries in Kharkiv and Vinnytsia, including among rescue workers responding to the attacks.
Meanwhile, Moscow claimed its forces had struck a cargo vessel heading towards Ukraine's Black Sea port of Chornomorsk, alongside logistics facilities allegedly supplying Ukrainian troops. The Russian military's claims could not be independently verified.
In Russia's Belgorod region, authorities reported three deaths and 14 injuries following overnight Ukrainian drone attacks.
Two people were killed and 13 injured in the city of Belgorod, according to regional Governor Alexander Shuvayev, cited by Reuters. Another person was killed and one injured in a village near Shebekino.
The governor reported extensive damage including 30 apartment blocks, 35 vehicles, four houses, three administrative buildings, eight commercial premises and three social facilities.
Further north, two people were killed and two seriously injured when a Ukrainian drone struck a minibus belonging to an agricultural enterprise in the Bryansk region, citing regional authorities.
The attacks also reached Russia's Perm region, where Governor Dmitry Makhonin reported that five workers were injured after a drone damaged an industrial facility.
Emergency services attended the site, but officials did not provide details about the facility or the extent of the damage.
Across the border, Ukraine's State Emergency Service reported injuries following Russian strikes in the Kharkiv and Vinnytsia regions.
According to Anadolu, 10 people, including three emergency responders, were injured in the attacks.
The emergency service also reported six people injured in a strike on a five-storey residential building in Vinnytsia. It was not clear from the report whether those injuries were included in the wider total.
The strikes sparked fires, while emergency crews said they came under repeated attacks as they responded, according to the Ukrainian service.
A fire engine tanker was completely destroyed, according to Ukraine's State Emergency Service.
Beyond the reported casualties, Russia's Defence Ministry said its overnight operations targeted Ukrainian logistics infrastructure and a cargo vessel travelling towards the Black Sea port of Chornomorsk.
Moscow alleged that the vessel was carrying supplies for Ukraine's armed forces.
The ministry also reported strikes on the Epicentr logistics centre, a distribution centre and the Vasyshchevo logistics terminal in the Kharkiv region.
Russian officials claimed the facilities were being used to store military or dual-use goods intended for Ukrainian forces.
The ministry separately said Russian air defences had intercepted and destroyed 532 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones across 25 Russian regions overnight.
Reuters said it could not independently verify the Russian Defence Ministry's claims.
Sunday's reports cover several different areas of the conflict, from drone attacks on Russian residential and industrial sites to Russian strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure.
The reported attack on a cargo vessel also brings Black Sea shipping into focus, although Moscow's claims about the vessel's cargo and the circumstances of the strike remain unverified.
The overnight exchange underscores the continuing risks to civilians, emergency responders and infrastructure on both sides of the war.
