MOSCOW — At least 10 people were killed and more than 50 injured after Russia launched another wave of missile and drone attacks across Ukraine over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian officials and media reports said on Friday.

The deadliest strike occurred in the city of Samar, located in the central Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, where a missile attack killed five people and left at least 25 others wounded.

In the southern port city of Odesa, a Russian drone hit a 21-story residential building, killing a married couple and triggering a major fire that engulfed three floors. Fourteen people were injured in the blaze, including three children, as emergency crews worked through the night to extinguish the flames.

Additional fatalities were reported in eastern and southern regions. Two people were killed in Donetsk Oblast and one in the Kherson region, according to local authorities. Civilian injuries were also reported in Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Sumy oblasts.

Ukraine’s Air Force confirmed that Russian forces launched 23 Shahed drones overnight between June 27 and 28. Air defense systems reportedly intercepted and downed 22 of them.

The strikes are part of an escalating Russian aerial campaign targeting Ukrainian cities throughout May and June, inflicting heavy civilian casualties and infrastructure damage. — Agencies
