Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian strikes killed two in Zaporizhzhya and wounded 14 nationwide Saturday; officials also reported at least two dead in Sumy and two in Dnipro. He urged the US and EU to impose tougher sanctions on Russia.
Zelensky said attacks also hit Kyiv and the Odesa, Sumy, Kharkiv, Poltava, Mykolaiv and Vinnytsia regions. On Friday, Russian drone strikes on Kyiv killed seven people and wounded 59.
Zelensky confirmed Ukrainian drone strikes on the Ilsk refinery in Russia’s Krasnodar region and a weapons factory in Rostov. Putin threatened harder strikes, presenting them as a response to a large Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow on the day of Russia’s parliamentary election. TASS reported that a Ukrainian drone strike on a café in Russian-occupied Kherson killed two young women; local authorities said a drone wounded two women in Belgorod. The article says none of the reports could be independently verified.
