Kyiv, Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv cities were all hit.\n\nIn northern Chernihiv, officials said a Russian drone hit a supermarket, killing two people, including a nine-year-old girl, and wounding 25 others.\n\nUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the attack as a “deeply cynical drone strike on an ordinary supermarket”.\n\nIn the eastern city of Kharkiv, one person was killed and 16 others required medical attention after a daytime drone attack, the local mayor said.\n\n“This is deliberate Russian terror with absolutely no military justification,” Zelenskyy said.\n\nSeparately, Regional Governor Ivan Fedorov said a glide bomb attack killed one person and wounded six in the southern city of Zaporizhzhia, which has been under heavy bombardment in recent months.\n\nIn Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said one blaze had broken out on the seventh and eighth floors of a multistorey apartment block in a central district after the overnight missile attack. Three people were wounded in the capital, and images released by the state emergency services showed vehicles in flames.\n\nIn Sloviansk, one of several targets of Russia’s slow advance through eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk region, the national oil and gas company Naftogaz said two of its employees died in a Russian attack while trying to help residents affected by an earlier strike.\n\nGet instant alerts and updates based on your interests.

Prikhodko later said a Ukrainian drone hit an emergency vehicle, injuring three medics and another resident.\n\nAt least 12 people, including two children, were also hurt in a Ukrainian drone attack on Belgorod, a Russian city close to the Ukrainian border, Russian authorities reported.\n\nThe attacks came a day after Moscow said a Ukrainian strike on a Russian-occupied town on the Azov Sea [killed](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/25/at-least-11-killed-in-ukrainian-and-russian-strikes-as-holiday-camp-hit) 12 people.\n\nBoth Moscow and Kyiv ‌deny targeting civilians in the war that started with Russia’s full-scale invasion of its neighbour in February 2022. But civilian casualty rates have [climbed sharply in 2026](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/21/steep-rise-in-civilian-casualties-in-russia-ukraine-war-un-says) in both Russia and Ukraine, according to the United Nations.\n\nAnalysts say this is because of the growing use of short-range drones, glide bombs, and intensified strikes on infrastructure in both Russia and Ukraine.\n\nUN officials say 1,396 civilians have been killed and 7,978 wounded in Ukraine in the first six months of 2026. In Russia, 250 civilians have been killed and 1,596 injured.\n\nUnited States-led talks on ending fighting have stalled. The Kremlin occupies swaths of eastern and southern Ukraine and has repeatedly said it intends to seize the rest of eastern Ukraine by force.","source_name":"Al Jazeera","source_url":"https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/27/russia-and-ukraine-trade-attacks-killing-10-including-child-in-chernihiv?traffic_source=rss","url":"https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/27/russia-and-ukraine-trade-attacks-killing-10-including-child-in-chernihiv?traffic_source=rss","author":"Unknown Author","author_name":"Unknown Author","published_at":"2026-07-27T03:34:06.000Z","publication_date":"2026-07-27T03:34:06.000Z","image_url":"https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/reuters_6a66aa78-1785113208.jpg?resize=770%2C513&quality=80","category":"world","topic":"world","tags":[],"political_bias":null,"bias_score":null,"confidence_score":null,"credibility_score":null,"factual_quality":null,"reading_time":4,"word_count":708,"view_count":0,"breaking":false,"breaking_news":false,"ai_analysis":null,"fact_check_status":"unverified","archive_status":"hot","language":null}}
