KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian missile and drone attacks killed at least seven people across Ukraine, officials said Saturday, while a Ukrainian drone strike in Russia’s Krasnodar region left three people dead.

The latest violence followed a Russian attack on a Ukrainian shopping center that killed at least 16 people and injured about 130 a day earlier.

Russian forces have recently stepped up ballistic missile strikes against Kyiv, taking advantage of Ukraine’s persistent shortage of U.S.-made Patriot interceptors, the only air defense weapons in its arsenal capable of bringing down those missiles.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said one person died and another was injured overnight when ballistic missiles struck railway facilities in the capital.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said its military had targeted a locomotive depot.

In another incident, regional authorities said two people were killed Saturday afternoon when a Russian ballistic missile hit the Kyiv region surrounding the capital.

Russian drone attacks also killed one person overnight in the Zaporizhzhia region, local officials said Saturday. A separate daytime strike left three people dead and 15 wounded. Zelenskyy added that an attack on a minibus in the regional capital, also named Zaporizhzhia, injured three more people.

Authorities in Russia’s southern Krasnodar region said a Ukrainian drone strike killed three people, including two children, and wounded two adults.

Aftermath of the deadly shopping center strike

The new attacks occurred one day after Russian drones hit a shopping center in Kryvyi Rih, a city in central Ukraine.

Dnipropetrovsk regional chief Oleksandr Hanzha said early Saturday that the number of deaths had climbed to 16. He later reported that four people were still missing and that another 130 had been wounded.

Kryvyi Rih is Zelenskyy’s hometown. He characterized the assault as a double-tap strike, with an initial group of drones hitting the site before a second wave arrived as emergency crews responded. The president said a fire covering 9,000 square meters, or roughly 97,000 square feet, had been put out while search-and-rescue work continued.

Kryvyi Rih has repeatedly come under attack during the 4½-year full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine. One of its deadliest strikes took place in April 2025, when 20 people, including nine children, were killed.

Major Russian bombardments have become increasingly common this summer. Friday’s assault came only 24 hours after Russia targeted Kyiv with dozens of missiles and drones in an overnight attack that killed 16 people. The United Nations said last week that the capital ranked among the cities most heavily affected in July, with at least 54 civilians dead and 202 injured.

Ukraine expands long-range attacks inside Russia

Meanwhile, Ukraine has increasingly carried the conflict onto Russian territory with long-range drone attacks against oil installations, contributing to fuel shortages across the country. Strikes on warehouses operated by Wildberries, Russia’s largest online retailer, have also caused public unease.

Independent Russian news outlet Astra reported Saturday that a Ukrainian drone ignited a fire at an oil refinery in the Samara region. Regional officials said damage had been documented at an unspecified “industrial facility” and at a logistics center belonging to Ozon, a rival of Wildberries.

Zelenskyy said Saturday that Ukrainian forces had hit the Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery in Samara, about 620 miles, or 1,000 kilometers, from the front line.

Russian President Vladimir Putin told state television reporter Pavel Zarubin that attacks on civilian sites “inflict economic harm on our country” and “result in losses.” However, he insisted they had not created “a turning point” in the war and said Kyiv “will never secure any advantage.”
