At least eight killed in Russian attacks across Ukraine overnight, officials say

At least eight people have been killed in Russian attacks on Ukraine overnight Thursday, local authorities say.

Six people have been killed in an attack on a farm in the Kharkiv region, according to the country's prime minister. Authorities this morning revised the death toll down from an initial seven. Ten more are said to have been injured in the attack.

In Kyiv, both residential buildings and a maternity clinic have been damaged in an attack that has so far claimed two lives, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram.

According to the local military administration, at least six people were injured. According to the Kyiv Independent, three separate attacks occurred within the space of about an hour.

In southeastern Poland, the situation is being monitored by the Polish Air Force and text messages have been sent to residents warning of Russian attacks on Ukraine.

As of Wednesday night, at least seven people were killed in Russian attacks on Ukraine.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a meeting with the UN Security Council on Wednesday that Moscow will not pause its war against Ukraine.

In early September, US President Donald Trump sent his envoys to both Kyiv and Moscow to try to breathe new life into negotiations to end Russia's war.

In recent days, Trump has called for an end to attacks on energy infrastructure. Ukraine has said it is willing to agree to this if Russia also stops its attacks.
