On September 5, Russian drone strikes inflicted injuries on at least seven civilians across three Ukrainian regions: Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Kharkiv. In Zaporizhzhia, an FPV drone struck a cargo truck, leaving a 37-year-old woman with injuries. A private home in the same region was also damaged, resulting in hospitalization for an injured man.
The Kherson region bore the brunt of a "Shahed" attack drone targeting a passenger train in Chornobaivka, damaging locomotives and injuring two individuals. Emergency services subsequently evacuated 21 passengers and the train crew. Meanwhile, in the Kharkiv region, FPV drone strikes wounded three people: a 53-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman in Slatyne, and a 65-year-old resident in Bezruky, all suffering from shrapnel wounds.
These attacks come in the wake of President Volodymyr Zelensky's accusations against Russian forces for deliberately targeting airports in Kyiv and Boryspil. Zelensky stated that the airfield strikes were in response to the arrival of US diplomatic envoys and as a demonstration of intent to disrupt logistical preparations for their potential plane arrival.
Additionally, Russian forces struck an Epicenter shopping center in Mykolaiv, injuring a 72-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl. Earlier in the day, Russian drone attacks in other regions, including Kamianske and Boryspil, resulted in casualties and extensive damage.
