Zaporizhzhia region
On the previous evening, a Russian strike hit a village in the Zaporizhzhia region. The State Emergency Service says at least six civilians were wounded, homes were damaged and fires broke out in several places.
While putting out one of the fires, rescuers pulled out two injured women and took them to hospital. Firefighters tackled blazes in four private houses, in a third-floor flat in a multi-storey block and on the front of a shop.
Poltava
On Wednesday during the day, a Russian strike hit Poltava. A shell landed on the grounds of a private business and a fire broke out there. Early reports say three people were wounded.
Vitaliy Dyakivnych, head of the Poltava regional military administration, wrote that all services are working at the scene and details of the damage are still being checked.
Russia has been waging a full-scale war against Ukraine since February 2022, and strikes on cities and towns hit civilians.
