A combined Russian attack on a residential area in Izium, in Ukraine's Kharkiv region, injured 6 people, including 2 children, said. The strikes set 3 fire stations ablaze, along with private homes, outbuildings and an apartment in a residential block.
Firefighters and emergency crews responded to extinguish blazes covering more than 320 square metres in total, the emergency service said. Several apartment buildings and private houses were damaged in addition to the properties that caught fire. Community rescue officers joined State Emergency Service units at the scene, the service said.
Russian drones and missiles also struck the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, overnight, Kyiv's State Emergency Service said. No injuries or deaths were reported there. Drone debris fell in an open area of the Sviatoshynskyi district without sparking a fire, while a drone crashed on the grounds of an educational institution in the Desnianskyi district, also without casualties or fire.
In Kyiv's Solomianskyi district, a strike on a garage complex set a passenger car and 2 garages alight, burning an area of 50 square metres; emergency crews put the fire out. A small grass fire, covering 5 square metres, was also extinguished in the Shevchenkivskyi district.
Ukraine's air force said Russia launched 317 attack drones and S8000 Banderol/Dan-T missiles in the overnight assault, of which intercepted or otherwise neutralised 271 drones and 5 missiles.
The same night, Russian forces also struck a residential area and a private business in Kremenchuk, Poltava region, injuring 7 people including a 16-year-old, and Ukrainian drones struck the Kirishi oil refinery in Russia's Leningrad region, according to the material.

Ukraine's air force says air defences intercepted or neutralised 271 drones and 5 missiles of the 317 launched overnight.
Why it matters for Europe
Izium, close to the front line in Kharkiv region, has limited emergency infrastructure after years of war; losing 3 fire stations in one night reduces the area's own capacity to respond to further incidents. The overnight barrage, which Ukraine's air force said involved 317 drones and missiles, also reached Kyiv and Kremenchuk the same night, showing how nightly Russian strikes continue to reach cities well away from the front line. Air defences intercepted the large majority of the drones and missiles launched, according to the air force, but the ones that got through still caused damage and injuries hundreds of kilometres apart in a single night.
