Night of Turmoil: Russian Air Strikes Ravage Southern Ukraine

Russian air strikes overnight resulted in the deaths of at least six people and injuries to 21 others, including children, in southern Ukraine, according to regional governors. The affected areas include the Mykolaiv and Zaporizhzhia regions, with air raid alerts persisting through much of the night.

In a devastating series of overnight air attacks, Russian strikes claimed the lives of at least six people and left 21 others injured, including five children, in southern Ukraine, regional governors reported on Monday.

The Mykolaiv region bore the brunt of the assault, losing five civilians, while one fatality occurred in the Zaporizhzhia region, where a residential building was reduced to rubble. Among the injured in Zaporizhzhia were children ranging in age from 4 to 17.

Though Reuters was unable to independently confirm these reports, and with no immediate response from Russia, this incident underscores the continuing tragedy since Russia's invasion of Ukraine commenced in February 2022.
