Ukrainian authorities said Russian attacks across the country killed at least nine people and injured 145 over the past day. The Air Force reported 161 drones and one missile launched overnight.

Russian drones struck two gas stations in Kyiv on the morning of Sept. 11, injuring at least four people, according to the Kyiv City Military Administration. Authorities said the station in Obolonskyi district was hit twice, while emergency crews worked at the sites.
Pavlohrad in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region is observing a day of mourning after a Russian attack killed five people. Two others were killed and 79 injured across the wider region. Kyiv’s mayor also reported attacks on two petrol stations in the capital.

Russia launched 160 drones across Ukraine overnight, killing at least one person and injuring many others. Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said a mother and her son were among those hurt in the attack on Zaporizhzhia.
