Overnight attacks by Russia on Ukraine damaged infrastructure and private homes, regional officials from several regions across Ukraine said Friday. The Ukrainian army said on Telegram that 16 of the 17 drones Russia used in nighttime attacks had been destroyed.
That follows Thursday's widespread attacks on energy infrastructure in Ukraine that left over 200,000Â people without electricity.
Meanwhile, Russian authorities said on Telegram that five Ukrainian drones had been destroyed overnight in southern Russia.
In other news, water levels of the Ural river continued to rise in some parts of Russia, with a mass evacuation taking place in the city of Orenburg as water levels topped 11 meters. Orenburg's mayor said on Telegram that the situation was "extremely dangerous" and "critical."
However, in other towns that have been hit hard by the flood, including Orsk, which was initially one of the most affected areas, water levels fell overnight.
