Russian drone attacks killed at least three people and injured at least six in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro regions, regional military administrations said, according to Austrian newspaper Salzburger Nachrichten.
In the Zaporizhzhia region, a drone exploded in an allotment garden and another struck a truck; one person was killed in each of the two attacks, the military administrations said. Details of the attack on the Dnipro region were not given.
Ukrainian security officials have asked residents not to post photos or videos of drone and missile strikes, or the resulting damage, on social media, warning that Russian forces could use the images to plan further attacks more precisely.
The front lines in eastern Ukraine have remained largely static for the time being, even as Russian air attacks on Ukrainian cities continue, Austrian media reported. Russia has stepped up its strikes on Ukraine in recent weeks, with major population centres including Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa targeted by combat drones and ballistic missiles.
