At least five people were killed and at least 18 others injured in Russian and Ukrainian attacks overnight and on Saturday, officials from both countries said, according to Anadolu Agency.
Three people were killed when a Ukrainian drone struck a private house in Proletarsky, in Russia’s Belgorod region, the regional operational headquarters said. The victims were a married couple and their 24-year-old daughter. One man was injured, one house was completely destroyed and another was damaged.
Seven other people were injured in attacks on the villages of Pochayevo, Novostroyevka-Pervaya and Rzhevka, as well as the town of Shebekino, the regional headquarters said.
Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said a woman was killed in a drone attack in Yasna Polyana, in the Kramatorsk district of the eastern Donetsk region. Three private houses caught fire.
In the Sumy region, a strike on the city of Hlukhiv on the morning of Nov. 14 injured three people, regional head Oleg Grigorov said. In the Kharkiv region, seven settlements came under attack over the past day, leaving one person dead and two injured, according to the report. Two people were also injured in the Dnipropetrovsk region, where apartment buildings were damaged.
Nearly 50,000 people lost electricity in the coastal Odesa region after a morning strike on a “DTEK Odesa” power grids facility in the region’s north, regional military administration head Oleg Kiper said.
“Energy workers have already started repair work to return electricity to every home as soon as possible,” Kiper said.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said overnight strikes hit an energy facility in the Chernihiv region that supports Ukrainian defense industry enterprises and logistics centers used to store military property. It also said a dry cargo ship at sea was hit while delivering military cargo to the port of Odesa.
The ministry further said two locomotives were struck near the Matveyevka railway station in the Zaporizhzhia region. It said they were used to move cargo for Ukrainian forces.
Neither side’s claims could be independently verified because of the conditions of war.
