X607-UCRANIA ATAQUE RUSO

STORY: A Russian drone attack wounded at least eight people in Ukraine's central Vinnytsia region, officials said early on Wednesday (July 16).

Ukraine's air force said Russia launched 400 drones and one ballistic missile, primarily targeting Kharkiv, Kryvyi Rih and Vinnytsia -- three cities in different parts of Ukraine.

It said it had shot down most of the drones, but that 12 unspecified targets were hit by one missile and by 57 drones that were not intercepted.

In Vinnytsia and the surrounding region, eight people were wounded, according to Ukraine's interior ministry. Emergency services published video footage showing firefighters battling flames at an industrial facility.

Reuters was not able to independently confirm the location or date of the footage.

Russian forces have stepped up air attacks on Ukrainian cities, with record numbers of drones being fired last week. Ukraine's military has also attacked Russian targets, often linked to the energy system.

Both sides deny targeting civilians in their strikes during the war that Russia launched against Ukraine more than three years ago. But thousands of civilians have died in the conflict, the vast majority of them Ukrainian.
