At least 12 people were killed and more than 30 injured in Russian attacks across Ukraine, according to Ukrainian police reports released on Thursday. The strikes hit multiple regions, including Donetsk, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson, and Sumy. In Donetsk, bomb and drone attacks killed five and injured 11, damaging 16 residential buildings and 42 civilian facilities. Additional casualties were reported in Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson, and the Shostka district of Sumy.

The Ukrainian police press service stated that the attacks caused extensive damage to civilian infrastructure, including apartment buildings and vehicles. The violence comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky observed a day of mourning for at least 707 children killed since the war began more than four years ago.

The continued strikes highlight the persistent intensity of the conflict, which has led to widespread civilian suffering and destruction across multiple Ukrainian regions.
