The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported on Wednesday a new wave of deadly night attacks across the country, killing and wounding civilians, including children.

The strikes primarily hit the capital, Kyiv. In Kharkiv, residential buildings, a school, and a kindergarten were damaged. Civilian infrastructure, including energy and port facilities, was damaged in several other regions.

The Ukrainian Ministry of Energy confirmed that the attacks affected energy infrastructure across the country, causing power outages. Water supply disruptions were also reported. Train traffic on the railway network was hampered due to damage to tracks.

Since early Wednesday morning, UN and partner humanitarian aid workers have been providing assistance to victims, complementing the work of government emergency services.

In the Kherson region, an interagency humanitarian convoy reached the village of Urozhayne, a frontline settlement regularly subject to shelling and drone attacks. Together with its partners, the UN delivered 11 tons of humanitarian aid for 1,000 residents: food, hygiene and sanitary kits, warm blankets, solar lamps, and medicine. This is the 24th humanitarian convoy sent to the affected areas of the Kherson region this year.
