Overnight, Russian forces launched attacks on several regions of Ukraine, killing at least 10 people, according to local authorities. The strikes were reported in the Sumy, Odesa, and Kyiv regions.

Rescue operations are ongoing, and the death toll may rise as information continues to be collected. France 24's correspondent in Kharkiv, Emmanuelle Chaze, provided additional details on the ground, though no specific targets or infrastructure damage have been confirmed.

The attacks are part of Russia's ongoing military aggression against Ukraine, which has persisted for years. Ukrainian authorities regularly report casualties and destruction across the country, including areas far from the front lines.

The international community has repeatedly condemned strikes on civilian infrastructure, but Russia continues such actions. There is no information yet on the exact extent of damage or the number of injured in each affected region.
