Russian attacks continued, with an aerial bomb killing 12 people at a public transport stop in Kramatorsk and a strike on a residential building in Kyiv killing two and injuring four, including two children, Zelenskyy said. A drone attack damaged an animal shelter in the Odesa region, and energy infrastructure was hit again. He reported destruction across 10 regions.
The Pryluky strike was part of an overnight barrage of 70 missiles and attack drones that hit infrastructure in Kyiv and 12 regions, with energy facilities among the key targets. Zelenskyy called for supplies to counter ballistic missiles, ammunition for combat aircraft and investment in interceptors. Talks with partners take place on Oct. 8 and 9, he said.
