At least one person was killed today in Russian bombing of targets in Ukraine, while the Russian military said it had captured two new villages in the country's east.

According to a daily report from the Defense Ministry, Russian forces have captured the villages of Sudne and Burlacke, both in the south of the eastern Donetsk region.

These two villages are located north of Velika Novosilka, a town captured by the Russian army in late January, in a sector where positions have remained largely unchanged throughout 2024.

The Ukrainian Air Force announced that Russia launched 154 drones towards several regions last night, of which 103 were shot down, while 51 disappeared from radar.

At the same time, authorities in several regions of Ukraine reported casualties and destruction.

In the southern Odessa region, one person was killed and three were wounded, Ukrainian prosecutors said. In the northeastern city of Kharkiv, 12 people were wounded, while two were wounded in Kherson, in the south, according to local authorities.

Two people were also injured in Pokrovsk, a mining town in eastern Ukraine, the military administration said.

In the territories occupied by Russia, three people were killed today and five were injured in Ukrainian shelling in the Kherson region, Russian official Vladimir Saldo announced on Telegram.
