Two one-year-old boys and a two-year-old girl were killed in the attack. Rescuers recovered their bodies from the rubble. A 34-year-old man also died.

Kharkiv Regional Military Administration (OVA) head Oleh Synehubov said two more people were injured: a 35-year-old pregnant woman and a woman over 70.

It marked the second deadly strike on Bohodukhiv in recent days. On Feb. 9, Russian forces hit the city, killing a 10-year-old boy and his mother after their home collapsed.

Late Tuesday, Feb. 10, Russian drones also struck Zaporizhzhia, causing a large fire and widespread power outages.

Zaporizhzhia OVA head Ivan Fedorov said the attack targeted an infrastructure facility, initially leaving more than 11,000 subscribers without electricity across two districts.

He said that heat restoration could take time in one area, though power is expected to be fully restored. By Wednesday morning, more than 2,000 customers remained without electricity.

Fedorov also reported damage to a hospital department following another overnight drone strike, with windows blown out. No casualties were reported.

In Vilniansk, Zaporizhzhia region, drones damaged and destroyed private homes overnight. Two women, aged 19 and 77, were injured and are receiving medical care.

According to Ukraine’s Air Force, Russia launched 129 attack drones – including Shahed, Gerbera and Italmas UAVs – from 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 10, around 80 of them Shaheds.

Air defenses shot down or suppressed 112 drones. However, 15 strike UAVs hit eight locations across the country.

  1. Three tiny children murdered by putinaZi scum.
    That is genocide; no question.
    They have ruined the lives of the parents and grandparents forever.
    The agony that they are now experiencing is simply indescribable.
    So sorry Ukraine. We in the so-called civilised world have let you all down so badly.
