Last night and today in Ukraine:

Russians struck Vovchansk in Kharkiv Oblast with two aerial bombs, destroying a medical clinic.

Later, the town of Lyptsi came under Russian fire, where shelling resulted in the death of three civilians, including a 14-year-old girl.

My author Oleg was on the phone with his daughter this evening when the blasts came in the Odesa region. Four people, including a 10-year-old child, were killed as a result of the evening missile attack. 14 people in total were wounded.
