During the overnight assault, Russian forces used 103 attack drones and four missiles. In Kharkiv region, three people were killed; across the country, over ten people were injured, including a nine-year-old child in Cherkasy.
President Volodymyr Zelensky reported this on Telegram.
“Yesterday, during a meeting in Istanbul, the Russian side was again presented with a proposal for an immediate and full ceasefire. In response, Russian drones struck residential buildings and the Pryvoz market in Odessa, apartment blocks in Cherkasy, energy infrastructure in Kharkiv region, a university gym in Zaporizhzhia, as well as targets in Donetsk, Sumy, and Mykolaiv regions,” Zelensky stated.
According to him, a total of 103 attack drones—mostly Shaheds—and four missiles were launched.
“Every night, Russia selects cities and communities to target. Tragically, three people were killed in Kharkiv region. My condolences to their families and loved ones. More than ten others were injured, including a nine-year-old child in Cherkasy,” he said.
Zelensky emphasized that Russia continues its campaign of terror, blocks diplomatic efforts, and therefore deserves full-scale sanctions and counterstrikes on its logistics, military bases, and weapons production facilities.
“We will do everything to make diplomacy work. But it is Russia that must end this war it started,” Zelensky concluded.
On the morning of July 24, seven people, including a child, were injured in Cherkasy following a missile strike.
In Odessa, a massive drone attack overnight destroyed a nine-story apartment building, threatening structural collapse, and caused fires at a gas station and the Pryvoz market.
Over the past 24 hours, nine settlements in Kharkiv region came under Russian fire, resulting in three deaths and five injuries.
