Russian attacks across Ukraine killed at least seven civilians and injured 80 others over the past day, regional authorities reported on Nov. 14.

Russia launched 96 Shahed drones, including Gerbera and Parodiya decoy drones, Ukraine's Air Force reported.

Ukrainian forces intercepted 81 drones, including 52 jet-powered drones. Russian strikes hit eight locations, while falling debris was reported at two other sites.

Several attack drones remain in Ukrainian airspace as air defense operations continue.

An explosion was heard in central Kyiv this morning, according to Kyiv Independent staff.

In Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Russian attacks killed three people, including a child, and injured 62 others, including eight children, Governor Ivan Fedorov said.

The strikes also heavily damaged two apartment buildings, leaving all apartments uninhabitable, Fedorov added.

The attack comes as Russian forces seek to impose a logistical blockade on Zaporizhzhia, potentially paving the way for an advance toward the city of Dnipro, Yevhen Lasiichuk, the commander of Ukraine's 7th Air Assault Corps, said in an interview published on Nov. 10.
