Russian attacks in five Ukrainian oblasts killed two civilians and wounded 37 over the past 24 hours, according to the regional authorities.

Russia targeted a total of nine Ukrainian oblasts — Sumy, Kherson, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Luhansk, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia.

Overnight on July 13, Russia attacked Ukraine with 20 Iranian-made kamikaze drones, two Kalibr cruise missiles, and an Iskander-M ballistic missile, according to the Air Force. Ukraine’s military reportedly shot down all the drones and the Kalibr missiles.

Four people were injured as a result of drone debris falling onto residential buildings in Kyiv, Mayor Vitalii Klitschko reported.

Russian forces hit 14 settlements in Zaporizhzhia Oblast on July 12, damaging 44 residential and other civilian infrastructure objects, the regional authorities said on Facebook.

As a result of an unidentified Russian projectile crushing in Zaporizhzhia, 21 people were injured, including eight children, according to updated information by the Zaporizhzhia Oblast Military Administration.

Russian troops fired 487 rounds from various weapons at southern Kherson Oblast, according to Governor Oleksandr Prokudin. The attacks reportedly killed two civilians and wounded three more.

In the past day, Russian attacks also injured eight residents of eastern Donetsk Oblast, reported Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko. Russia hit over 14 settlements in the region, damaging at least 30 houses, according to Kyrylenko.

Russian forces used artillery, mortars, and aviation to attack Kharkiv Oblast, injuring a 67-year-old man in the village of Dvorichna, the regional governor wrote. Six houses, a garage, and outbuildings were damaged in Odnorobivka, he added.
