Russian drone and missile attacks across Ukraine over the past 24 hours have killed at least 10 people and wounded 76 others, according to local officials. The strikes hit residential areas and critical infrastructure in five regions, including Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Zaporizhzhia.
In response, President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that Ukrainian forces struck Russian oil tankers and a terminal, escalating the cross-border campaign against energy assets. "Our strikes are precise and aimed at limiting the enemy's ability to fuel its war machine," Zelensky said in a statement.
The attacks come amid intensified aerial warfare, with Ukraine reporting the interception of dozens of drones and missiles overnight. Emergency services continue to clear rubble and treat the wounded.
Analysts warn that the reciprocal strikes risk widening the conflict, as both sides target each other's economic lifelines.
