Overnight Russian strikes hit three Ukrainian regions
Summary
A retrospective on the strikes reported on Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa oblasts, which followed an attack on a passenger train a day earlier.
How much harm can a single night of strikes do across a country at war? On 28 January 2026, overnight Russian strikes on the Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa oblasts of Ukraine killed three people and injured three others, as reported at the time.
The attacks were spread across the centre, east and south of the country, with the Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Odesa regions all affected.
A train attack the day before
The strikes came after an incident on 27 January 2026, when a Russian drone struck a passenger train in Kharkiv Oblast. At least five people were killed and two others were injured.
Taken together, the reports from the two days recorded at least eight deaths and five injuries across four Ukrainian regions.
