In a wave of violence across Ukraine, Russian attacks on October 6 have left at least four people dead and more than 30 injured, according to reports from regional authorities.
87 Shahed-Type Drones Launched
Overnight, Russia launched a barrage of 87 Shahed-type drones, two Iskander-M ballistic missiles, one Iskander-K cruise missile, and one Kh-59/69 cruise missile against various targets in Ukraine.
