Russian drones killed three people in Ukraine’s south and north on Friday, while a missile strike a day earlier killed two and wounded dozens more, local authorities said.

The missile strike on Thursday damaged a hospital, an emergency medical care center, and a water utility in the northern city of Sumy, bordering Russia, the regional military administration said on Friday.

As a result of the attack, two people were killed and 26 wounded, of whom six remained in hospitals.

A civilian car was hit by a kamikaze drone in the Kharkiv region on Friday, killing a man and a woman, the regional governor said on the Telegram messenger app.

Another drone hit a village in the southern Kherson region, its governor added. A woman was killed.

All three regions frequently come under Russian drone and missile attacks. Although the Kremlin continues to deny deliberate targeting of civilian targets, civilians almost invariably make up the bulk of the casualties of Russian missile and drone attacks that are being carried out almost daily.
