Russian drone and missile strikes injured at least six people in Ukraine overnight, as attacks on Mykolaiv and Kyiv sparked fires and left buildings damaged.
At least three women were injured in a Russian drone attack on the Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv, according to local officials.
The overnight strike sparked multiple fires, including one that engulfed a house, as firefighters worked to extinguish the blazes amid the debris.
The attack on Mykolaiv followed a deadly Russian missile strike on Kryvyi Rih a day earlier, which killed 19 people, including nine children.
Russia has not issued an immediate response to the incident.
Meanwhile in Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, at least three other people have been injured following an aerial attack by Russia.
Two people injured by the attack in Darnytskyi District have been hospitalized.
Officials report of several fires around the city and damage to buildings.
Paramedics throughout the city are responding on the scene
Both Russia and Ukraine deny targeting civilians in the conflict, which began three years ago when Russia launched its full-scale invasion. Thousands of civilians have been killed, the vast majority of them Ukrainian.
