Russian forces carried out a series of large-scale attacks across Ukraine over the past day, killing civilians, injuring dozens, and damaging homes, infrastructure and energy facilities in several regions.

Fedorov said one person was killed in the Zaporizhzhia district, while authorities received 58 reports of damage to homes, vehicles and infrastructure across the region.

In the Ivano-Frankivsk region, a Russian drone strike on a residential high-rise left 10 people injured, including two teenagers. Four victims were hospitalized, while others received outpatient treatment. Local authorities also reported damage to apartment buildings, administrative structures and nearby facilities. Several families were temporarily relocated, and emergency services received dozens of applications for property damage compensation.
