4 killed, 40 injured in Russian attacks against Ukraine over past day
Russian attacks across Ukraine killed at least four civilians and injured at least 40, including children, over the past day, regional authorities reported on July 28.
Russian forces launched 324 Shahed-type attack drones and other drones, four Kh-101 cruise missiles, and three Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles against Ukraine overnight, primarily targeting Starokostiantyniv in Khmelnytskyi Oblast, the Air Force reported.
Starokostiantyniv hosts an air base of Ukraine's 7th Tactical Aviation Brigade. Ukrainian authorities largely do not disclose details on the consequences of Russian attacks against military and strategic targets, making the full extent of damage and casualties impossible to verify.
