Russian strikes killed two people and wounded five more across Ukraine on Friday, as the country struggles to counter escalating Russian bombardments that have killed more than 50 people over three days. One man died and five were wounded in Zaporizhzhia region, with attacks hitting residential areas and a child among the injured. Another man was killed in Ivano-Frankivsk in western Ukraine. Russia also attacked warehouse facilities in the Bucha district near Kyiv, wounding three people and trapping a woman who rescuers were searching for under rubble.

Russian attacks over the past three days have killed dozens of civilians using ballistic missiles and jet-powered drones. On Thursday, a Russian guided bomb exploded next to public buses filled with passengers in eastern Ukraine, killing 30 people. A day earlier, a Russian missile strike killed 22 people, including five children, in the northern town of Pryluky.

In response, a Ukrainian attack on Russia's eastern Belgorod region killed two people and wounded twelve, according to the area's regional emergency headquarters. Russia and Ukraine remain locked in a long-range aerial war, their armies largely deadlocked on the front line more than four and a half years since Moscow's full-scale invasion began.
