Three people have died during a night of air strikes and intense shelling across Ukraine, officials said Sunday, while Moscow's second-largest airport briefly suspended flights following a foiled drone attack near the Russian capital.
Two people were killed and four more were injured following a Russian air strike in Ukraine's Kharkiv region, said the head of the local regional military administration, Oleh Syniehubov.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that a guided bomb had hit a blood transfusion center in the area's Kupyan district late on August 5.
A woman in her eighties was also killed by Ukrainian shelling in Russian-held Donetsk, the city's Moscow-appointed mayor Alexei Kulemzin said Sunday. Moscow's Vnukovo airport located 15 km southwest of the Russian capital briefly suspended flights Sunday morning after a drone was shot down in the airspace around the city.
