Russia launched attacks against nine of Ukraine's oblasts over the past day, killing at least seven people, including a child, and injuring at least 10, regional officials reported early on Feb. 6.

In Donetsk Oblast, Russian attacks injured one person in the besieged town of Avdiivka, the regional military administration reported.

Several buildings were reportedly damaged in the strikes against the oblast, including a school, warehouses, and houses.

A two-month-old boy was killed in the attack, and three women were injured, including the boy's mother.
