At least 14 people were killed and 37 others wounded in Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine.
According to the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, the attack happened in Ukraine’s eastern city of Dobropillia and a settlement in the Kharkiv region.
Reports indicate that Russian forces attacked Dobropillia with ballistic missiles, multiple rockets, and drones, causing damage to eight multi-storey buildings and 30 vehicles, according to the ministry.

The assault resulted in the deaths which included five children, and left 30 others wounded.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy also confirmed the attack via his social media, noting that he is ready to protect the lives of Ukrainians.
“Such strikes show that Russia’s objectives have not changed. Therefore, it is crucial to continue to do our best to protect lives, strengthen our air defences, and increase sanctions against Russia. Everything that helps Putin finance the war must collapse,” President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Facebook.
This is the first major missile attack since the US paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine, piling pressure on Kyiv as President Trump seeks a swift end to the war.
