Russia continued its attacks on Ukraine, killing two people, including an Azerbaijani citizen, and injuring dozens others, including 10 children, in strikes on the Kyiv region and Kharkiv.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned Moscow's "brutal strike" on the country's second-biggest city, Kharkiv, that hit a high-rise apartment building.
"Two people were killed in the Kyiv region, one of them a citizen of Azerbaijan," Zelenskyy said in post on X.
Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry confirmed the death of its citizen, adding that the embassy in Kyiv is providing consular assistance to repatriate his remains.
At least 35 people, including 10 children, were injured in the Russian overnight attack on Kharkiv, Mayor Ihor Terekhov reported on September 28.
Terekhov said a Russian guided aerial bomb struck a multistory apartment building.
He later said search-and-rescue operations had ended, with no one found under the rubble, while municipal services and the State Emergency Service continued clearing the debris from the attack.
In a separate attack, regional authorities reported on September 28 that a Russian strike on central Dnipro hit an office building, causing a fire and injuring several people.
The latest string of attacks comes only a day after another Russian barrage that killed eight people across the country on September 27.
In his nightly address to the nation on September 27, Zelenskyy said the attacks showed that Russia has no interest in ending the war.
Meanwhile, according to the OSINT analysis of the ASTRA monitoring Telegram channel, Ukraine hit an oil depot in Russia's southern Krasnodar region, causing a large fire.
The report could not be independently verified, and there was no immediate confirmation from either the Ukrainian or Russian side.
Ukraine's defense forces have liberated three more villages in northern Donetsk region, the Ukrainian military reported on September 28.
Russia's Defense Ministry has not yet commented on the claim, while earlier saying its forces struck Ukrainian logistics, communications, port infrastructure, and vessels overnight.
