Russian attacks against Ukraine killed three people and injured 38 over the past day, regional authorities said on Sept. 23.

Ukrainian forces downed three out of four Shahed-type drones launched by Russia overnight, the Air Force reported. One more drone and two Kh-59/69 cruise missiles "failed to reach their targets" due to electronic warfare.

A Russian overnight attack on the city of Zaporizhzhia injured at least 17 people, including a 15-year-old boy, the Interior Ministry said.

One person was killed in the village of Novoukrainka near Vuhledar and two others in the town of Myrnohrad in the Pokrovsk district, Donetsk Oblast, Governor Vadym Filashkin said.

Russian attacks on the towns of Mykolaivka, Sloviansk and Kramatorsk damaged three high-rise buildings and 76 houses, according to the governor. Ten people were injured in the region over the past day.

In Kherson Oblast, Russian forces targeted 16 settlements, including the regional center of Kherson. One person was killed, and seven were injured, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin reported.
