The two warring countries are ramping up long-range strikes, causing a growing number of civilian casualties.

5 dead in new Russian, Ukrainian strikes

Five people lost their lives in new strikes carried out by Russia and Ukraine, according to recent reports. The violence occurred overnight on Saturday and Sunday, escalating the ongoing conflict between the two nations. In Ukraine, a Russian drone attack caused the death of two individuals in the city of Kharkiv, while another attack in Odesa claimed the lives of three people, injuring a total of 23 others.

These strikes targeted vital infrastructure such as the power grid, port, and residential buildings. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his outrage, stating that 61 missiles were fired at Ukraine this week. Meanwhile, in Russia, a Ukrainian drone attack killed three people in the Belgorod region, with injuries reported among four and nine-year-old children.

The Russian military claimed to have captured two small villages in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region, though this has not been independently verified. The conflict, now in its fourth and a half year, continues with no immediate prospects for a peace agreement.
