At least three people were killed and six injured in renewed Russian drone attacks that lasted more than 10 hours in Ukraine's central Kirovohrad region, the Ukrainian civil protection service said on Telegram.
Authorities reported that logistics hubs, warehouses and residential buildings in the regional centre, Kropyvnytskyi, were among the targets. Local officials also said transport infrastructure in the area was hit and that fires broke out.
Wider damage and energy facilities affected
In neighbouring Poltava region, drones struck gas production facilities, the state energy company Naftogaz reported, saying equipment was damaged and production was temporarily halted. Naftogaz added that no employees were injured.
The Ukrainian Air Force said that during the past night Russian forces used 580 unmanned aerial vehicles of various types and two missiles against targets in Ukraine. Of those, 536 were intercepted in time, the statement said.
Despite the interceptions, strikes were registered at 31 different locations and debris from downed drones caused damage at 11 additional sites, according to the military report.
