Five people were injured in Russian attacks on Kramatorsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia

Today, five people, including an elderly woman and two medics, were injured in Russian attacks on Kramatorsk, Kherson, and the Polohy district of Zaporizhzhia Oblast, according to regional authorities. Officials said the strikes targeted residential areas, causing widespread damage and civilian casualties.

In Donetsk Oblast, Russian forces dropped two FAB-250 aerial bombs on Kramatorsk in the morning, injuring an 18-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman. The bombardment damaged 11 apartment buildings, along with a shop, a pharmacy, storage facilities, and 28 vehicles. Emergency services were deployed to inspect damaged structures and assist residents in securing broken windows and addressing immediate needs.

In Zaporizhzhia Oblast, a first-person view drone strike wounded a 76-year-old woman in the Polohy district, while in Kherson, two medics aged 58 and 47 were injured during a bombardment early in the morning. Authorities said the medics were at home at the time of the attack and later sought medical help, where doctors diagnosed them with blast injuries, concussion, and acute stress reactions.

More than 19,000 cases of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia verified - Prosecutor General`s Office

Ukrainian law enforcement agencies are verifying more than 19,000 cases of the forced transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia, a figure that may rise as investigations continue. The Office of the Prosecutor General reported that the deportation of children from territories temporarily occupied by Russian forces represents one of the most serious war crimes documented so far. Investigators say these actions violate international humanitarian law and are aimed at severing children’s ties to Ukraine and erasing their national identity.

According to prosecutors, Russian authorities systematically place transferred children with Russian families, including military households, compel them to obtain Russian citizenship, and subject them to education under Russian curricula. Many are sent to so-called “re-education” camps, while in some cases minors have even received draft notices. The investigation has found that these practices are part of a coordinated policy to integrate Ukrainian children into a different social environment and assimilate them. To accelerate this process, Russia simplified citizenship procedures in 2022 for children taken from occupied Ukrainian territories.

Ukrainian prosecutors say they are documenting each individual case, building a comprehensive evidence base for both national and international courts, and working to secure the return of unlawfully transferred children. Evidence has already been submitted to the International Criminal Court, and criminal proceedings have been launched in Ukraine against those involved. By September 2025, Russia had reportedly transferred nearly 11,000 Ukrainian children to 164 camps in Russia and occupied Crimea since the start of that year, underscoring the scale and persistence of the practice.

Russian forces launched a large-scale drone strike on Odesa, damaging the infrastructure

Russian forces launched a large-scale drone attack on the city of Odesa overnight on 11–12 February, causing significant damage to civilian and commercial infrastructure. Early reports indicated that one person was injured.

The head of the Odesa City Military Administration reported that an infrastructure facility in one of the city’s districts was struck, along with a nearby business centre. Medical teams provided immediate assistance to the injured person.

Ukraine’s Air Force reported shortly after midnight that Russian drones were moving toward central Odesa. Local media outlets documented multiple attack drones in the sky and the sound of explosions across the city.

According to the Odesa Military Administration morning update, the overnight strike had resulted in extensive damage. A fire broke out at the affected infrastructure facility, while a nine-storey residential building also sustained serious damage. Part of its facade and roof were destroyed, and a fire erupted on the top floor. Psychologists from the State Emergency Service assisted 23 residents at the scene.

Commercial infrastructure was also heavily impacted. Retail stalls at one of Odesa’s markets caught fire, and a supermarket building was damaged. Emergency and utility services worked through the night to clear debris and secure damaged areas, covering broken windows with protective sheeting.

An emergency response headquarters has been set up to provide assistance to residents whose homes were affected by the attack, ensuring access to all necessary support services.
