He went on to say that rescue plans are still ongoing. The governor of the region, Oleh Syniehubov, said that there was a child among the injured.
Ukraine announced that it had hit two Russian weapons depots overnight in the Krasnodar and Tver regions in an attack that showed its growing ability to strike inside Russia.
A Russian airstrike killed two people in the Ukrainian city of Nikopol, the regional governor said.
In Kurakhove, one of the focal points of Russia’s gradual advance into Ukraine’s Donetsk region, one person was killed in a Russian artillery strike, regional prosecutors said.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said its air defense facilities destroyed 15 aircraft launched by Ukraine overnight targeting Rostov region in the south, as well as Kursk, Astrakhan, Belgorod and Voronezh regions. There were no reports of injuries.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that the end of the war with Russia depends on the “solution” of Kyiv’s Western allies in providing the necessary weapons and permission to use them. He said his meetings next week in the United States are “crucial” in ensuring that Ukraine has a defense capability.
Russia will not take part in the follow-up to the “peace summit” organized in Switzerland in June, as the plan is like a “fraud”, said the spokeswoman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova, adding that Moscow is ready to discuss “really important.” proposals” that take into account the “situation on the ground”.
Ukraine’s allies increased military support in early September, Zelenskyy said. “We feel the difference,” added the Ukrainian leader, whose army is struggling to stop Russian military advances in the east.
Zelenskyy dismissed the Ukraine peace plan proposed by China and Brazil earlier this year, saying it was too vague and no specific actions or stages were mentioned.
