An overnight Ukrainian drone attack killed one person and injured around 10 others in the Russian-occupied southern Zaporizhzhia region, Moscow-installed authorities said Sunday (March 8, 2026).
A video posted on social media site VK overnight showed firefighters extinguishing a burning residential building that the drone reportedly hit.
“(There are) more than 10 injured people, and the body of a woman was found during the night,” Vasylivka municipality official Natalia Romanichenko told Russia’s state news agency TASS.
In Ukraine’s Kharkiv region in the northeast, a Russian strike on the village of Velyka Babka wounded three people, authorities said.
“Russian forces carried out a targeted strike on emergency services last night,” Ukraine’s emergency service said Sunday (March 8, 2026) on Telegram.
It said an initial drone strike set a house on fire and wounded three before a second Russian drone hit the fire engine sent to put out the blaze.
On the night of Friday to Saturday, 12 people were killed in Ukraine when Russia fired a volley of missiles and drones. At least 10 were killed in Kharkiv when a Russian missile struck a five-storey apartment building.
Over the past week, Russia has launched “nearly 1,750 attack drones, 1,530 guided aerial bombs, and 39 missiles against our people,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday (March 8, 2026) on social media.
