7 dead as Russia, Ukraine exchange strikes and aerial war intensifies
Russian strikes killed 4 civilians, while Ukrainian drones hit a refinery and industrial sites in Krasnodar, officials said.
On Saturday, Russian attacks killed four people across Ukraine, with officials reporting numerous strikes on residential homes in Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Odesa, Sumy, and Kharkiv.
Some four years after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealed at the United Nations to restrict Russian revenue through sanctions, warning the world must respond to increasingly brutal strikes.
In Zaporizhzhia, two women died trapped under the rubble of their destroyed home, while Russia's Ministry of Defense claimed its Saturday attack on Kyiv damaged a data center supporting Starlink satellite systems.
A Ukrainian drone attack killed three people in the Krasnodar region, where regional Gov. Veniamin Kondratyev reported fires at two industrial sites, including an oil refinery.
