What the war's strikes had left by 13 October 2025

What did the war look like in the days leading up to 13 October 2025? The reports from the preceding days describe strikes that reached a church, a house and a Russian border settlement.

On 8 October, a drone strike on a house in Sumy, in Sumy Oblast, injured a family. A 4-year-old girl was critically hurt. Dozens of civilian infrastructure facilities in the city were also damaged.

The same day, a Ukrainian missile strike on Maslova Pristan, in Russia's Belgorod Oblast, killed three people and injured nine others, as reported at the time. A search and rescue operation was under way for others believed to be trapped under rubble.

On 11 October, a Russian strike hit a church in Kostiantynivka, in Donetsk Oblast. At least two people were killed and four others injured, one of them critically.

Taken together, these reports show civilian places, from a family home to a place of worship, among the sites hit in the days before 13 October 2025. Sumy and Kostiantynivka lie in different parts of Ukraine, and Maslova Pristan is on the Russian side of the border. The reports give casualty figures for each strike, while the rescue effort in Belgorod Oblast was still unfinished when they were filed.
