A Russian strike on Bohodukhiv, Kharkiv Oblast, killed four people, including three toddlers, and injured two others, Governor Oleh Syniehubov reported overnight Feb. 11.

"Two one-year-old boys and a two-year-old girl died as a result of an enemy strike in the city of Bohodukhiv," he said.

A 34-year-old man who was alongside the children was killed. A 35-year-old pregnant woman and a 74-year-old woman were also injured in the attack.

Russia regularly strikes Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, including residential buildings and energy infrastructure, as it continues to wage its war.

In Zaporizhzhia, Russian strikes left about 11,000 residents without electricity, Governor Ivan Fedorov reported on Feb. 11.

The temperature in the southern Ukrainian city is -9 degrees Celsius (15 degrees Fahrenheit).

On Feb. 9, at least six people were killed and 41 others injured in Russian attacks against Ukraine over the span of the day, local authorities reported.
