Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 10 Oct, 08:37 · Archive

Russian attacks have killed dozens of people across Ukraine over recent days, with officials reporting fresh strikes on multiple regions.

Russian strikes killed at least three people across Ukraine on Friday and at least seven more on Saturday, officials said. The Friday attacks hit the Zaporizhzhia region, where one man was killed and five people were wounded, including a child, according to Mykhailo Semikin, head of the regional military administration. Another man was killed in Ivano-Frankivsk in western Ukraine, and a woman died in a Russian attack on warehouse facilities in Bucha near Kyiv, with three people wounded at that site.

On Saturday, Russian aerial bombs struck residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia, killing at least seven people, including three children, and wounding at least ten, Semikin reported. More than 50 people have been killed in Russian bombardments over the past three to four days, according to the outlets. The attacks used a mix of ballistic missiles and jet-powered drones.

The Independent World reports that Saturday's strikes came a day after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a deal to purchase Russian diesel. Trump said Russia would supply more than 300,000 tons immediately, with further deliveries planned for November and beyond. Ukraine warned that the deal would help bankfire Moscow's war effort.

Russia and Ukraine remain locked in a long-range aerial war, with their armies largely deadlocked on the front line more than four-and-a-half years since Moscow's full-scale invasion.
