Russian and Ukrainian Drone Strikes Kill Civilians as Cross-Border Attacks Intensify

Russian missile and drone attacks killed at least three people across Ukraine on Saturday, while Ukrainian drones killed two children in Russia’s southern Krasnodar region, officials said.

The latest violence came a day after a strike on a shopping center in Ukraine killed 16 people, underscoring the continuing intensity of the more than four-year war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said ballistic missiles struck railway infrastructure in Kyiv overnight, killing one person and injuring another.

Russia’s Defense Ministry confirmed its forces had targeted what it described as a locomotive depot in the Ukrainian capital.

In a separate attack Saturday afternoon, authorities said another person was killed when a Russian ballistic missile struck the wider Kyiv region.

Russian forces have intensified ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv in recent weeks, increasing pressure on Ukraine’s air defenses as the country struggles with a shortage of U.S.-made Patriot interceptors. The Patriot system remains Ukraine’s principal defense against incoming ballistic missiles.

Elsewhere, a Russian drone strike killed one person overnight in a village in the Zaporizhzhia region, according to local officials.

Zelenskyy also said three people were wounded when an attack hit a minibus in the regional capital, Zaporizhzhia.

Meanwhile, authorities in Russia’s Krasnodar region said a Ukrainian drone attack killed two children and wounded two adults.

The latest attacks highlight the growing use of long-range missiles and drones by both sides as strikes increasingly hit infrastructure and populated areas far beyond the front lines.
