In the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, one person was killed, and five more were wounded when drones and missiles hit residential areas. Several apartment buildings, private homes, a shop, and an industrial facility were damaged, according to regional governor Ivan Fedorov, who shared photos showing fires and destruction.

"Russia launched a massive ​combined strike on Zaporizhzhia using drones and ​missiles," Governor Ivan Fedorov said.

In the eastern Poltava region, two people died and 11 others were injured in similar attacks that struck homes and a hotel.

The strikes come shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Monday warned that intelligence reports showed Russia preparing a new, large‑scale offensive.
