People injured across nine regions
60 injured
Friday's attacks struck nine regions, killing at least eight people and injuring 60, Ukrainian officials said. Two of the dead were in Kharkiv, two in Kramatorsk and two in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
What was hit
- A shopping centre in Rivne
- A shopping centre in Sumy
- A food-processing plant in Volyn
- A customs terminal in Kovel
Drones hit shopping centres in Rivne and Sumy, a food-processing plant in Volyn and a customs terminal in Kovel, on a main road from Kyiv to Poland.
More than a million people lost power, including about 370,000 households in Volyn, the energy ministry said. Power has since been restored to over a million people, but Lutsk could stay dark for at least 24 hours.
