Russia carries out missile and drone attacks across Ukraine, with the hardest impacts reported in Kharkiv and Kyiv during 12–13 October. Ukrainian outlets report fatalities and injuries from multiple strike types, including ballistic missiles and Shahed or other drones, affecting homes, transport areas, and commercial sites.
In Kharkiv, reports describe drone “hunting” car attacks, damage to apartment buildings, and additional strikes that injure civilians; one outlet also reports people being rescued from rubble and searches for those possibly trapped. Separate reporting says a drone hits a supermarket in Kharkiv, injuring two people, and another strike damages cars and a transport infrastructure facility in Dnipro while shattering windows in apartment blocks.
In Kyiv, sources describe drone impacts on residential areas, including a high-rise apartment building that kills two and leaves at least nine wounded, plus another incident in Kyiv’s Darnytskyi district where debris damages a house and injures a woman. Euronews also reports killings and large numbers injured in Kharkiv, alongside strikes affecting areas near Lviv, while Kyiv Post and other outlets add further detail on specific damage locations and rescue efforts.
