Russian attacks kill 6, injure 43 across Ukraine over past day, Donetsk Oblast among hardest hit
The Air Force said Russia attacked Ukraine with 108 drones. Air defenses shot down or intercepted 85 drones, while strikes were recorded at seven locations.
On September 14, Russian attacks in Ukraine claimed at least six lives and left 43 people injured, with Donetsk Oblast among the worst affected regions, according to local authorities on September 14. The ongoing conflict has kept Donetsk as a primary target for Russia throughout the full-scale war and remains a crucial focus of Moscow's aggression against Ukraine.
In the oblast, three individuals were killed, and 13 others sustained injuries, as reported by Donetsk Governor Vadym Filashkin. Two fatalities occurred in Kramatorsk, while one person was injured in Druzhkivka. The attacks persisted into the morning hours, with a single individual sustaining an injury in Sloviansk. In the same region, two fatalities and 10 injuries were reported in Kramatorsk, one fatality in Znamenivka, and another in Spasko-Mykhailivka.
Additionally, a civilian home in Sloviansk suffered damage due to an airstrike, prompting a fire that engulfed debris and dry grass covering 100 square meters. Intense drone activity further complicated firefighting efforts by targeting two separate drones, resulting in the ignition of a car and an outbuilding. Russian drone assaults targeted Ukraine with a total of 108 drones, with 85 successfully intercepted or shot down by Ukrainian air defenses, while seven strikes were recorded across various locations.
In Kherson Oblast, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin confirmed that Russian forces killed three people and injured 14 others. Similarly, in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Governor Ivan Fedorov reported one fatality and four injuries. In Kharkiv Oblast, Governor Oleh Syniehubov disclosed that five individuals, including a newborn, were injured, while a Russian drone strike on a civilian vehicle in the region injured a 62-year-old man at around 10 a.m. local time.
Russian drone attacks continued into the morning, striking a civilian vehicle and injuring an individual in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, with four people injured overnight and two more in the early hours.
