Russian Drone Attacks Cause Casualties in Crimea, Shelling in Dnipropetrovsk

Russian shelling overnight targeted districts in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, including Nikopol and Synelnykivskyi, damaging residential buildings and vehicles but causing no civilian casualties, with Ukrainian air defenses intercepting ten Russian drones. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy highlighted the escalating intensity of Russian attacks, reporting over 1,500 strike drones, 1,280 guided aerial bombs, and 50 missiles used against Ukraine in one week, while emphasizing that Russian weaponry relies heavily on over 132,000 foreign-made components from countries such as Europe, the US, China, and Japan. Meanwhile, in the annexed Crimean Peninsula, Ukrainian drone attacks have resulted in casualties and damage; Russian officials reported three deaths and approximately 15 injuries, along with damage to a hospital, school, and facilities at the Foros sanatorium. These incidents underscore ongoing conflict intensity and the international dimension of military supplies to Russia, as well as the continuing Ukrainian resistance and Russian defensive responses in contested regions.
