Russia launched deadly drone attacks on Ukrainian cities over the weekend, killing at least six people and injuring dozens more. In Dnipro, four people were killed and more than 20 injured after Russian drones struck residential buildings, a hotel complex, and other civilian infrastructure late Friday, according to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service. In Kharkiv, two people died and at least 30 were wounded — including children — after a drone strike hit a military hospital and nearby homes late Saturday, local authorities said. The following day, a Russian guided bomb strike on central Kupyansk injured at least four people, according to regional officials. “The geography and brutality of Russian strikes, not just occasionally, but literally every day and night, show that Putin couldn’t care less about diplomacy,” President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote following the latest attacks.
