Russian overnight attacks killed at least one person and injured two more in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk.

Writing on Telegram messaging app, City Mayor Oleksandr Goncharenko said Kramatorsk was subjected to hostile shelling – residential district, where boy born in 2006 was killed.

Goncharenko reiterated that two people, a man and a woman, were also injured.

Meanwhile, the country’s air force said on Telegram said its air defence units destroyed 63 of the 79 Russian drones that attacked overnight in several Ukrainian regions.

Also, the governor of the broader Zaporizhzhia region said that Russian drone attack on the city of Zaporizhzhia in southwestern Ukraine injured one civilian.

The governor, Ivan Fedorov said the attack sparked a massive fire at a residential building, destroying its roof, causing it to partially collapse and spreading over the area of 300 square metres (3,230 square feet).

Ukraine’s emergency service confirmed on Telegram that two people were rescued from underneath the collapsed parts of the building.

The service also said that the blast wave damaged neighbouring houses, leaving tens of people homeless.

At the time of filing this report, there was no immediate comment from Russia.

Meanwhile, both sides have always denied targeting civilians in their attacks on each other in the war that Russia launched with its full-scale invasion on Ukraine three years ago.

But thousands of civilians have died in the conflict, the vast majority of them Ukrainian.
