Russian forces carried out attacks against at least 10 oblasts over the past day, killing a child and injuring eight people, local officials reported early on Sept. 15.

In Donetsk Oblast, one person was injured in a Russian strike against Krasnohorivka, the Donetsk Oblast Military Administration reported.
