Russian attacks on cities in eastern and southeastern Ukraine resulted in four deaths and damage to civilian infrastructure, according to officials and prosecutors. In the Donetsk region city of Sloviansk, three people were killed and five injured in two bomb attacks. Sloviansk is considered a key defensive point in the ongoing Russian offensive. In Zaporizhzhia, a wave of dozens of drones killed one person in his car and injured seven others. Regional Governor Ivan Fedorov stated that five strikes hit the city, causing a fire in a residence and a shopping center, and damaging an educational institution. Reuters could not independently verify the reports, and both Russia and Ukraine deny deliberately targeting civilians.
