Russian, Ukrainian report 14 dead in latest attacks
Ukrainian attacks on holiday camps in the partly Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia region have killed 11 people, Moscow-installed officials said on Saturday, while authorities in Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region said a Russian drone strike killed three people. Four children were among the 10 people killed in the attack on the resorts, Yevgeny Balitsky, the Kremlin-installed regional head, said on Saturday, adding that 14 people were wounded.
Ukraine did not immediately comment on the attack. Sumy regional head Oleh Hryhorov said on Saturday three people were killed when a large fire broke out after a Russian drone struck a “civilian facility,” adding that the victims were drivers for private Ukrainian postal and courier service Nova Poshta. Russia’s defence ministry said it attacked a “storage and launch site” for Ukrainian drones in the Sumy region. In Zaporizhzhia, in southeastern Ukraine, a Russian drone attack late Friday hit a shopping centre, causing a fire that spread over a 500-square-meter area and injuring several people, regional head Ivan Fedorov said. A major Russian attack on Friday on a site hosting a defence industry event near Kyiv killed at least 10 people and wounded nearly 100 others.
