Russian strikes killed three people and wounded several others overnight, regional authorities said Monday (February 23, 2026), as Moscow continued its assaults on the eve of the war’s four-year anniversary. In the south, two people were killed when Russian drones hit industrial, energy and civilian infrastructure in the Odesa region, regional governor Oleg Kiper said on Telegram. The city, a major industrial hub near the front line, faces regular strikes as Russian forces intensify pressure on Ukraine’s southeast. The attacks followed a barrage of Russian missiles and drones that struck energy infrastructure, railways and residential areas across Ukraine on Sunday (February 22, 2026), with Kyiv among the hardest hit. One man was killed and more than a dozen people were wounded in and around the capital in that attack.
