A Russian attack killed a seven-year-old child and injured two other children near Synelnykove in Dnipropetrovsk region on Thursday, regional officials said, as Moscow continued pounding civilian communities across eastern and south-central Ukraine.

Around Nikopol, a city repeatedly targeted by Russian forces from across the Dnipro River near the occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, one person was killed and three others were injured in a series of strikes, according to Dnipropetrovsk region officials.

In Donetsk region, Russian forces dropped seven aerial bombs on Oleksandrivka, killing one person and injuring two others, Governor Vadym Filashkin said.

The attacks came as Ukraine was still mourning the victims of Russia’s massive Tuesday barrage on Kyiv, which killed at least 27 people.

Ukrainian officials say Moscow is deliberately striking homes, frontline towns and civilian infrastructure in an effort to terrorize the population and exhaust Ukraine’s defenses.
