From
Spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Thameen Al-Kheetan
Location
Geneva
Following last week's deadly attack in Ternopil and continued strikes on urban areas and frontline communities, Russia carried out further large-scale attacks overnight using missiles and loitering munitions, primarily targeting energy infrastructure in Kyiv City, Odesa and Kyiv region. Preliminary information indicates that at least seven people were killed and 28 injured, including four children, across Kyiv City, Odesa and Kyiv region. The attacks also caused emergency power and heating outages in several areas.
Ukraine also conducted long-range drone strikes into Russia's Krasnodar and Rostov regions, reportedly resulting in killed and injured civilians.
Our team in Ukraine is visiting the sites in Kyiv and Odesa and should be able to share more information in the coming days. As the High Commissioner has stressed, civilians and civilian infrastructure are clearly protected under the laws of war.
