According to regional governor Viacheslav Chaus, at least five individuals, including a year-old child, lost their lives in a Russian drone attack on the northern Ukrainian city of Pryluky overnight.

The attack came just hours after Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to Trump, Putin “very strongly” said that Russia will retaliate for Ukraine’s weekend drone attacks on Russian military airfields.

Six more people were wounded in the attack and have been hospitalised, Chaus said.

According to him, six Shahed-type drones struck residential areas of Pryluky early this morning, causing severe damage to residential buildings.

Several hours later, a separate Russian drone assault on the eastern city of Kharkiv resulted in injuries to seventeen people. This group included children, a pregnant woman, and a 93-year-old woman, as reported by regional head Oleh Syniehubov via Telegram.

Around 1:05 am local time, Shahed-model drones targeted two apartment buildings in Kharkiv’s Slobidskyi district, igniting fires and causing damage to multiple private cars.

“By launching attacks while people sleep in their homes, the enemy once again confirms its tactic of insidious terror,” Syniehubov wrote on Telegram.
