Russian strikes overnight in the Zaporizhzhia region of southwestern Ukraine resulted in 16 deaths and at least 35 injuries at a detention center, according to local authorities.
Governor Ivan Fedorov reported on Telegram that the facility's buildings were destroyed, and nearby residences sustained damage.
In the Dnipropetrovsk region, four people were killed and several others wounded in separate attacks, regional officials confirmed.

Fedorov stated that Russian forces carried out eight strikes on the area, deploying high-explosive aerial munitions.
