At least 16 people were killed over a 24-hour period as Russia and Ukraine exchanged deadly drone and missile strikes, authorities from both countries said Saturday, according to France 24.
The toll reflects an escalation in long-range strikes targeting critical infrastructure on both sides, as the war continues without a resolution in sight. The United Nations has warned of rising civilian deaths as Kyiv and Moscow ramp up these attacks.
Neither government provided a full breakdown of the strikes' targets or the exact circumstances of each fatality, though both sides have previously blamed each other for civilian casualties resulting from infrastructure attacks.
International officials continue to call for de-escalation as the human toll of the conflict mounts.
