The night and morning of July 27 became a time of unprecedented tension for Ukraine. Russian forces carried out a large-scale attack covering several regions. The most significant destruction and casualties were recorded in Zaporizhzhia, the Sumy region, and the Dnipropetrovsk region. According to the latest data, at least one person has died as a result of the strikes, and dozens have been injured.
Tragedy in the regional center of Zaporizhzhia
The most severe consequences of the attack were recorded in Zaporizhzhia. A guided air bomb hit a private house located in the regional center. The strike proved fatal for a 67-year-old man who could not survive under the rubble.
Rescuers carried out a complex operation to dismantle structures and extract the injured. A 22-year-old man was pulled alive from the ruins of the same house. He is currently under medical observation, and his life is not in danger.
At the same time, a drone strike on a multi-story residential building was recorded in the city. As a result of the apartment damage, a 53-year-old woman and a 52-year-old man were injured. Police paramedics, investigative and operational groups, criminalists, and explosives experts are working at the scene.
Massive strikes on the Sumy region
The Sumy region was also subjected to intense shelling. The enemy delivered at least seven strikes with guided air bombs on the territory of the Sumy community. As a result of the attack, five civilians were injured. Preliminarily, there are no seriously injured among them.
The strikes caused damage to private residential houses, infrastructure facilities, and vehicles. The inspection of the territory is ongoing, and the full scale of the destruction is being clarified.
Explosions and fires in Dnipro
In Dnipro, the attack led to a fire on the territory of a private residence. A powerful shock wave damaged windows in several high-rise buildings, damaged cars, and one of the stores.
The region's air defense system operated in normal mode: overnight, air defense forces shot down 15 enemy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in different districts of the region. Information about casualties in Dnipro is being clarified.
Shortage of air defense means and the situation on the front
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed alarming details regarding the country's defense capabilities. According to him, Ukraine critically lacks missiles to protect against Russia's mass attacks with ballistic missiles. The situation is further complicated by the war in the Middle East, which distracts resources and the attention of allies.
In addition to the recent events of July 27, the consequences of a deadly Russian strike that occurred on the afternoon of July 26 continue to be liquidated in Chernihiv. Among the victims of that attack were three children, and a 9-year-old girl was killed.
