Ukrainian officials said Tuesday a Russian missile attack hit the central city of Dnipro, injuring at least seven people.
Ukraine’s air force said it shot down two Iskander-K cruise missiles in the area.
Serhiy Lysak, the regional governor, said on Telegram that falling debris from the downed missiles damaged residential buildings and a hospital.
The Ukrainian military also reported destroying two drones over the Chernihiv region. There were no reports of injuries or damage there.
Russia’s defense ministry said Tuesday it destroyed a Ukrainian drone over the Belgorod region.
Vyacheslav Gladkov, the regional governor of Belgorod, said in Telegram that Ukraine used a kamikaze drone in an attack that hit a car in the village of Yasnye Zori, but caused no injuries.
Peace conference
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and national security adviser Jake Sullivan will attend a Ukraine peace conference in Switzerland on June 15, the White House said Monday in a statement.
Harris will travel to Switzerland to underscore the U.S. commitment to supporting Ukraine’s effort to secure a just and lasting peace, based on Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and the principles of the U.N. Charter, the vice president’s communications director, Kirsten Allen, said.
Harris will reaffirm U.S. support for the people of Ukraine as they defend themselves against ongoing Russian aggression, the statement said.
The Kremlin has repeatedly said any talks around securing peace in Ukraine should involve Russia, which has not been invited to the summit.
