At least six civilians were killed and 18 others wounded in Russian attacks across Ukraine over the past 24 hours, regional authorities reported on June 16.<\/p>\n

Russia launched 138 drones overnight, including Iranian-designed Shahed-type suicide drones, Ukraine’s Air Force<\/a> said. Air defenses intercepted 125 drones, while another 41 dropped off radars \u2014 likely used as decoys to overload Ukrainian systems. <\/p>\n

The assault was repelled using aviation, electronic warfare units, mobile fire groups, and anti-aircraft missile systems.<\/p>\n

Donetsk Oblast<\/strong> saw the deadliest attacks, with six civilians killed \u2014 three in Bagatyr, two in Pokrovsk, and one in Kostyantynivka \u2014 and four more injured, Governor Vadym Filashkin<\/a> said. The region remains one of the most heavily targeted areas amid ongoing Russian offensive operations.<\/p>\n

In Kherson Oblast<\/strong>, seven people were injured after Russian forces struck critical infrastructure and residential neighborhoods, damaging eight houses, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

Three women aged 71, 62, and 27 were wounded in Kupiansk, Kharkiv Oblast<\/strong>, according to Governor Oleh Syniehubov<\/a>. The oblast has been under intensifying Russian aerial and artillery attacks in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Air defenses were active over Kyiv<\/strong> and surrounding areas, where three people were injured in the capital and region. Authorities said drone fragments<\/a> fell in residential zones.<\/p>\n

In Zaporizhzhia Oblast<\/strong>, a 46-year-old man was injured as Russian troops carried out 426 strikes on 14 settlements, Governor Ivan Fedorov<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

The latest strikes come as Russia continues to escalate its aerial campaign and reject calls for a ceasefire<\/a>. Ukrainian officials have repeatedly urged Western partners to bolster air defense<\/a> capabilities as drone and missile attacks persist. <\/p>\n
