Overnight, Russia orchestrated a series of missile and drone assaults on Ukraine, leading to the tragic death of a civilian in Kryvyi Rih and significant damage to buildings and cars in Kyiv and other regions.

Central Ukraine saw devastating impacts, as reported by Serhiy Lysak, governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region. Meanwhile, the Odesa region witnessed injuries after a drone attack caused a house fire, informed Oleh Kiper, the area's governor.

Despite repeated denials from both sides about targeting civilians, the conflict has claimed thousands of civilian lives, predominantly Ukrainian. As the war nears its third anniversary, Ukraine's air force responded quickly, issuing alerts throughout central and eastern territories for extended periods overnight.
