Several Ukrainian cities were hit by Russian missiles on the night of Wednesday to Thursday. In addition to the two men killed in Kherson, seven people were injured in Kiev after falling debris, authorities said.
“According to detailed information from doctors, seven people were injured in Darnitskyi district. Three of them are in hospital. Four were treated on site,” Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on Telegram, specifying that among them a nine-year-old girl was hospitalized. “More than 20 enemy targets were destroyed by air defense,” added the head of the capital’s military administration, Sergii Popko.
Interior Minister Igor Klymenko said seven people were also injured in the city of Cherkassy, south of Kiev, after a hotel was hit by a rocket.
The eastern city of Kharkiv, near the Russian border, was also bombed, said Mayor Igor Terekhov, who reported that two wounded people were hospitalized. The Lviv region in the northwest was also hit, said Governor Maksym Kozytskyi, without being able to provide any information about possible victims.
