At least 11 people were killed and 30 wounded, including five children, in Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine's eastern city of Dobropillia overnight, the Ukrainian Interior Ministry said on Saturday.
Russian forces attacked Dobropillia with ballistic missiles, multiple rockets, and drones, causing damage to eight multi-storey buildings and 30 vehicles, according to the ministry.
The assault resulted in the deaths of 11 people, including five children, and left 30 others wounded.
Photographs of partially destroyed buildings engulfed in flames and rescue workers clearing debris were also published by the ministry.
The ministry also reported that three civilians were killed in a separate drone attack on the Kharkiv region in the northeast.
On Friday, Russian forces damaged Ukrainian energy and gas infrastructure in their first major missile attack since the U.S. paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine, piling pressure on Kyiv as President Donald Trump seeks a swift end to the war.
The pause in U.S. military aid and intelligence may undermine Ukraine's air defences as it runs low on advanced missiles and struggles to track attacks as effectively, military analysts say.
Dobropillia, home to about 28,000 people before the war, is in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, 22 kilometres from the front line north of the key hub of Pokrovsk, which the Russian troops have been attacking for weeks.
The ministry also said at least three were killed and 7 injured in a separate drone attack on Kharkiv region overnight.
