Two dead in night attacks on Ukraine

According to the organization, the dead are two men aged 48 and 69. Around 50 buildings were damaged in the attack, apparently by three Russian Iskander missiles.

Another attack hit a farm in the village of Oleksiivka, it was said, but no casualties were reported.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is calling on his country’s allies to increase their air defense support to intercept the Russian missiles and drones that have been raining down on the country every day for nearly 30 months of conflict.

The death toll in a Russian attack on a playground in the southern Russian city of Mykolaiv on Friday has risen to four, including a child, and 24 were injured, Mayor Oleksander Senkevitch posted on Telegram.
