Ukraine’s deputy prime minister for reconstruction, Oleksiy Kuleba, said the attacks damaged key infrastructure and left civilian casualties. “All the victims are civilians,” he wrote on Telegram.

In the southern Odesa region, Russian drones struck a port, killing one person and wounding six, three of them critically. “Unfortunately, one person was killed,” Kuleba said, offering condolences to the victim’s family.

He also reported attacks on railway infrastructure in the Dnipropetrovsk region in eastern Ukraine, saying Russia was deliberately targeting logistics. “The enemy is consciously and systematically striking Ukraine’s logistical infrastructure,” he said.

In the Mykolaiv region, authorities said Russian strikes hit energy facilities, cutting power to residents in one district.

Police in the Ukrainian-controlled part of the Donetsk region said three people were killed and two wounded in Kramatorsk. The dead were two 19-year-olds and their 8-year-old brother; their mother and grandmother were injured.

Regional officials also reported that a 57-year-old woman was killed in the Zaporizhzhia region, while in the Kharkiv region a woman was killed Friday morning and a 9-year-old girl and a 67-year-old woman were wounded.

Ukraine’s air force said Russia launched one Iskander missile and 154 attack drones, including Shahed drones, overnight. It said 111 drones were shot down or disabled, while the missile and 22 drones hit targets at undisclosed locations.
