Mounting Russian strikes hit Ukraine with casualties across the country

Russia has launched a barrage of attacks over the past 24 hours, pummeling cities in Ukraine’s east, south and center with missiles, glide bombs and waves of drones — the latest onslaught in a deadly aerial campaign that intensified two months ago.

The building where the Estonian ambassador to Ukraine lives in the capital Kyiv was also hit and left burning by a drone.

Overnight, Russian glide bombs struck a building in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, wounding more than 20, while drones struck the southern city of Odessa, killing one person and injuring nine, officials said.

The previous day, glide bombs hammered five locations in Zaporizhzhia in eastern Ukraine, injuring at least 40 people and killing 10, including a 1-year-old child, officials said Friday.

In total, at least 14 people were killed and close to 100 injured in the attacks.
