Russian overnight strikes wound six across Ukraine

A wave of Russian air strikes across Ukraine left six civilians wounded between Monday evening and Tuesday morning, prompting an urgent air raid alert for Kyiv. The attacks hit multiple regions, including Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, and Kharkiv, as regional officials confirmed injuries amid a heightened state of alert across the country.

In the southeastern region of Zaporizhzhia, two people required medical assistance following a strike, according to Governor Ivan Fedorov. Further north in the Sumy region, emergency services reported three additional injuries late Monday. Meanwhile, a drone strike in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, wounded one woman, Mayor Ihor Terekhov confirmed via Telegram.

Following these incidents, authorities in the capital issued an air raid alert early Tuesday, urging residents to seek immediate shelter. These strikes follow a warning from President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week regarding potential large-scale Russian offensives. Zelenskiy continues to navigate a complex diplomatic path, balancing efforts to secure Western support for a peace framework with a push for expedited European Union membership. Reuters could not independently verify the specific circumstances of these latest attacks.
