Russian attacks kill six in three different regions, officials say

July 3 (Reuters) - Russian ‌attacks killed ​six ​people on Friday in three different areas of Ukraine, regional officials said.

A series ‌of more than 50 strikes by drones, artillery ⁠and bombings killed three in southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region, including ‌two near Nikopol, a ‌town on the opposite bank of the Dnipro River from the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power ​plant.

Twelve people were injured, Regional Governor Oleksandr Hanzha said on Telegram.

Two people were killed in ⁠a strike to the northeast on the city of Zaporizhzhia, a ​frequent recent target of deadly attacks, Regional Governor Ivan Fedorov said. Seventeen people were ​hurt.

And in the city of ‌Sumy, near the Russian border, one person was killed when Russian forces ⁠launched glide bombs, Regional Governor Oleh Hryhorov said. Russian forces have long sought to build up a buffer ⁠zone in the region.

Earlier, prosecutors said an overnight Russian ​drone attack on a house in the northern part of Sumy region killed four.

Reuters could not independently verify the ‌accounts.

The capital Kyiv was observing a day of mourning, a day after a ‌Russian missile and drone attack killed at least ⁠30 people in ‌the deadliest strike ​on the city this year.
