Russian forces launched drone and rocket attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure overnight, striking energy and logistics sites in Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, and beyond.

In the early hours of August 7, Russian forces conducted a coordinated series of strikes across several regions in Ukraine, according to military reports. The attacks targeted infrastructure in the Sumy, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk, and Chernihiv regions.

In Kharkiv region, Russian forces reportedly hit areas around Chuhuiv, Vovchansk, and the outskirts of Kharkiv city, targeting ammunition depots, military equipment, and air defense systems.

In Kherson region, the attacks focused on Ukrainian military headquarters and river crossings. Meanwhile, in Sumy-specifically near Khotyn and Yunakivka-and in Chernihiv’s Pryluky and Koriukivka districts, strikes were aimed at logistics hubs and storage sites.

Russian forces also engaged Ukrainian frontline positions near Sloviansk and Kramatorsk in the Donetsk People’s Republic, continuing pressure on critical points in the east.
