Civilian toll rises as Russia presses nationwide strikes
At least eight killed and dozens injured: Monday’s toll snapshot from Russian strikes across Ukraine. Civilian sites remain central targets in the drone-missile mix.
Monday’s casualty snapshot — at least eight dead and dozens injured across Ukraine — is a reminder that Russia’s campaign still lands on apartments, transport, and local businesses, not only trenches.
