Russian forces carried out attacks against nine Ukrainian oblasts over the past 24 hours, Ukraine's Defense Ministry media center said on April 12.

According to local authorities, two civilians were killed, and nine more were wounded in the Russian attacks.

Russian attacks were reported in Donetsk, Kherson, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv, and Luhansk oblasts in the east, south, and north of Ukraine.

According to the media center, Russia struck a total of 134 settlements using mortars, tanks, artillery, multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), small arms, S-300 missiles, drones, and tactical aviation. Thirty-eight infrastructure facilities have been hit.

Russian forces struck Kherson Oblast 35 times, using heavy artillery and aviation, the regional administration said. The attacks reportedly killed one person in the region as well as damaged a church, power lines, a port in the city of Kherson, and an enterprise in Beryslav.

One civilian was killed in Donetsk Oblast's Vuhledar, and eight more people were wounded in Bakhmut, Toretsk, and Novokalynove, according to Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko.

In Ukraine's eastern Kharkiv Oblast, four districts came under Russian fire, the oblast governor, Oleh Syniehubov, reported. A 62-year-old woman was injured in the Russian strike on the village of Kindrashivka, according to the governor.

Russian attacks also damaged four houses and a road in Kharkiv Oblast's city of Vovchansk and caused a fire in a field near Izium, added Syniehubov.
