Ukraine Updates: Russia's overnight strikes turn deadly  DW  09/07/2025
"A series of Russian strikes across Ukraine overnight left at least one person dead and several others injured, Ukrainian officials reported. In Kyiv, falling debris from downed drones started fires on top of a 16-story residential building and two nine-story buildings, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. At least eight people, including a pregnant woman, were injured, and an elderly woman was killed."
"Three of the injured were hospitalized. According to Reuters, witnesses heard a series of explosions shaking the Ukrainian capital city, which they believe were air defense units conducting operations. Explosions were also reported in the cities of Odesa, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, and Kryvyi Rih. Poland, which is Ukraine's neighbor to the west, scrambled its fighter jets during Russia's air raid to protect its own air space. Russia currently occupies about 20% of Ukraine's territory."
