Russian strikes overnight in Ukraine kill at least four civilians and wound about 20 people, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says. The attacks occur amid a separate political and military personnel dispute in Ukraine. Multiple outlets report that anger and protests continue following Zelenskyy’s defence shake-up, including the dismissal of Mykhailo Fedorov. Protesters are described as expressing public frustration with changes to Ukraine’s defence leadership, and further demonstrations are expected. The reports place the public unrest alongside ongoing combat, with the civilian casualties attributed to the overnight Russian bombardment. While the outlets vary in emphasis—some focusing on the strikes and others on the domestic reaction—they broadly agree on the casualty figures and on the fact that Zelenskyy’s personnel changes prompt continued public protests. The situation is reported as evolving, with additional protests anticipated after the initial demonstrations.
