Five civilians were reported killed on both sides of the Russia-Ukraine border Saturday, including two in a Ukrainian drone strike in Russia’s Bryansk region and one near Ukraine’s Nikopol.
Russia said it shot down 124 Ukrainian drones over a 12-hour period, while Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said interceptors stopped repeated drones headed for the capital; Russian agencies tallied 24 near Moscow.
In Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region, Governor Oleksandr Ganzha said more than 40 drone and artillery strikes hit the Nikopol area, killing one person and injuring one.
Russian-installed officials in occupied Donetsk said Ukrainian drone strikes also killed two people in Horlivka and Makiivka, underscoring how attacks are hitting civilians well beyond the immediate front line.
