The Russian military launched an S-300 anti-aircraft missile system at the village of Shestakove on the evening of April 26, authorities said. The attack struck an agricultural enterprise, injuring a 42-year-old man.

In the Bohodukhiv district, a Rusisan drone struck a civilian car and wounded three people. A woman, aged 55 years, and her husband, 57, were injured along with their 19-year-old son. The vehicle was also damaged.

The family was delivering humanitarian aid to residents of the village of Sotnytskyi Kozachok at the time of the attack, authorities said.
