Russian forces carried out strikes on Kyiv and Kharkiv, leaving dozens of people wounded, according to tg24.sky.it. The outlet reported the attacks as part of a wider wave of Russian raids across Ukraine.
Kharkiv was among the hardest hit, with la Repubblica reporting at least 16 people injured there, including eight children. Other strikes hit Sumy and Zaporizhzhia, where at least eight people were killed, according to the Corriere della Sera. One tg24.sky.it report put the death toll from the latest Russian raids on the country at eight.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that roughly 3,900 drones and missiles were launched against Kyiv over the course of a week, Corriere della Sera reported. Drone attacks were also directed at the Kyiv region, according to la Repubblica.
The strikes came as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov addressed the United Nations, where he said Russia would achieve its objectives, Vatican News reported. His remarks signaled no shift in Moscow's stated position as the attacks continued.
The reports were published on Monday, 28 September 2026, drawing on live coverage from several Italian outlets. Figures on casualties varied between the accounts, with some describing dozens wounded and others giving specific counts for individual cities.
Casualty numbers from the affected regions are likely to be updated as emergency services continue working at the strike sites.
