Russian forces kill teenager, destroy apartments in continuous overnight strikes across Ukraine

Russian forces conducted widespread attacks across Ukraine during the night of 22 June, launching 47 drones and three missiles that resulted in civilian casualties and significant property damage.

Russia continues to terrorize the civilian population in Ukraine with daily strikes using missiles, artillery, drones, and cluster munitions. Russia aims to disrupt daily life, create humanitarian crises, and potentially force political concessions from Ukraine amid ongoing attempts to negotiate peace. Meanwhile, the US shifted more of its attention to the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. Trump did not approve any new military aid for Ukraine and diverted anti-drone missiles—previously approved by the Biden administration for Ukraine—to the Middle East.

Ukrainian air defenses shot down 18 drones with conventional weapons while electronic warfare systems neutralized another 10, according to the Air Force.

The deadliest attack occurred in Sloviansk, Donetsk Oblast, where a Russian airstrike destroyed a private residential house. Emergency workers recovered the body of a 17-year-old boy from the rubble, according to Donetsk Regional Military Administration head Vadym Filashkin.

The same strike wounded three additional people and damaged at least 32 private houses, two administrative buildings, four multi-story buildings, one industrial facility, and three vehicles.

In nearby Kramatorsk, Russian forces partially destroyed a four-story apartment building. Rescuers freed a man born in 1955 from the debris and evacuated a woman and girl born in 2010 from a blocked fourth-floor apartment, according to the State Emergency Service. Officials said people may still be trapped under the rubble as rescue operations continue.

In Odesa Oblast, Russian attacks sparked fires at an emergency medical station, a garage with a vehicle inside, and a nearby residential building. Local fire brigades and rescue teams extinguished the blazes without reported casualties.
