Two other people were reportedly injured in Russian attacks against Avdiivka.

In Kharkiv Oblast, Moscow's troops attacked the village of Velyka Rohan, injuring four civilians, Governor Oleh Syniehubov said.

Three women, aged 60, 39, and 26, suffered mild injuries and were provided medical attention on the spot. A 17-year-old boy was hospitalized and is in moderate condition, the governor noted.

Russia launched 99 attacks against Kherson Oblast, killing one person and injuring 10, according to Governor Oleksandr Prokudin.
