In a series of overnight attacks, Russia has intensified its campaign against Ukraine, striking critical infrastructure and civilian targets across the country. Six people were killed and 19 wounded in a "massive" attack on Zaporizhzhia, a southeastern region, according to local officials. A children's hospital was also hit in Kyiv, causing damage and injuring one person. Meanwhile, a Russian drone attack in Mykolaiv injured a 75-year-old woman. In response, Ukraine has escalated strikes deep into Russian territory, with an overnight drone attack reportedly killing one person and injuring two in the Voronezh region of Russia. The attacks on both sides have raised concerns about the intensifying conflict, particularly as Kyiv faces a shortage of Patriot interceptors to defend against long-range missiles. The Russian Ministry of Defence claimed that its overnight attacks targeted defense industry facilities and transport and logistics centers in Ukrainian cities, while Gusev, the regional governor of Voronezh, reported falling debris triggering fires at warehouse facilities. As the conflict continues to escalate, both sides appear to be focusing on crippling each other's infrastructure, with potential implications for civilians caught in the crossfire.
