Russian forces carried out deadly airstrikes across southern, northern, and eastern Ukraine on Friday, September 8, killing at least three civilians and wounding seven others, according to Ukrainian officials.

Four other locals were also wounded in the attack. “An air bomb dropped by the Russians killed two women and one man, while four more local residents received injuries,” Klymenko stated.

The head of the Kherson Oblast Military Administration, Oleksandr Prokudin, said two of the injured, ages 54 and 62, were hospitalized in moderate condition. Two other local residents, ages 50 and 29, will receive outpatient treatment.

Additionally, Prokudin reported that Russian forces shelled the village of Veselé with mortars, wounding a 67-year-old man.
